Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton (via F1)
Lewis Hamilton joins Ferrari after an underwhelming time in Formula 1. The seven-time world champion has struggled in the sport’s ground-effect era since 2022. Now, former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya has made a bold claim over Hamilton’s ability to defeat Max Verstappen this year.
The British driver had a frustrating final campaign with Mercedes. Despite winning two races and ending his 945-day winless streak, Hamilton was just not comfortable with the car. So much so, that he even considered quitting the campaign before the end of the season.
Montoya reckoned that if Ferrari produces a fast car this year, fans will witness the Lewis Hamilton ‘of old,’ from the days of the Briton’s dominance in F1. Juan Pablo Montoya claimed that even Max Verstappen won’t be able to defeat this version of the seven-time world champion.
If Hamilton has a fast car this season, we’ll see the old Hamilton from a few years ago, the Hamilton that nobody can beat, not even Max Verstappen.
