Lewis Hamilton, the former seven-time world champion, is a global personality. Wherever he goes, the crowd follows, and the same happened during a recent Petronas event in Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia.
When Lewis Hamilton came out of the airport, there was a huge crowd of fans waiting to get a glimpse of him. Not only were they shouting his name but a certain section of fans, were also calling him “Lisan Al Gaib.”

This is a reference from the hit Zendaya starred Dune movie series which also, saw its second part come out recently. Lisan Al Gaib means an off-world prophet or someone who is seen in the same light as that of a Messiah.

Keeping the above in view, it is high praise for the 39-year-old veteran of F1. However, considering the brilliant exploits of Hamilton over the years and how passionate his fans are, it does not come as a huge surprise that he was called a Messiah in Kaula Lumpur.
Ex-F1 driver claims Ferrari will give Lewis Hamilton ‘everything’
While Hamilton has been busy with his off-track commitments ahead of the Australian GP weekend, not even a single day goes by without there being something on the web regarding his 2025 Ferrari move. Ex-F1 driver, Ralf Schumacher has recently given his take on it.

The German believes that the Maranello-based team will provide the Brit with everything in 2025, but will also expect solid performances.
I am sure Vasseur would not pay so much money for nothing. He will offer and give Hamilton everything to make sure he can perform.Ralf Schumacher said in an interview with Forme1.de
Lewis Hamilton has taken the place of Carlos Sainz who is currently in his final year with the team. The Spaniard wanted to sign a contract extension but the chance of having Hamilton on the team was too much to pass for Ferrari.

However, despite the positivity that has surrounded the Brit’s Ferrari move, it does not guarantee him immediate success. The Italian team already has a world-class driver in the form of Charles Leclerc and thus, it won’t be easy for Hamilton to get the better of him in 2025.
