Ferrari could end championship drought with Lewis Hamilton next year
Lewis Hamilton’s extended racing skills and expertise are believed to have returned Ferrari to its glory days. The Prancing Horse hasn’t tasted championship victory since 2008. Hence, the Ex-F1 racer Mark Blundell believed that Hamilton had what it took to win the title if provided with the right equipment. Blundell reckoned that Ferrari had a chance at winning the championship under Hamilton.
I think he’s got what’s required to win a title if he’s given what he needs. If the circumstances suit, that’s not there all the time in terms of consistency, but I think that’s one of the key areas. If they can take that result and make the car more consistent and still achieve performance, then there could be half a chance that the Ferrari is there to take a championship again with Lewis behind the wheel.
Mark Blundell told AceOdds
Ferrari’s performance in the 2024 season is an extremely positive point for Hamilton’s arrival in the coming season. The 39-year-old has also already highlighted his goals to improve inclusivity and equality in the Italian constructor. Hence, the coming few seasons will be extremely interesting to witness for fans of the Briton.
