As the season nears its conclusion, Lewis Hamilton‘s long-standing tenure with Mercedes is also coming to an end. The seven-time world champion is set to join Ferrari in 2025. However, some skeptics have questioned his move, arguing that he might struggle to adapt to Ferrari’s environment.
In response to this criticism, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff strongly defends the Briton, asserting his confidence in Lewis Hamilton‘s ability to thrive in the new team. He began his career with McLaren in 2007, winning his first title with the British team.
Hamilton then moved to Mercedes, where he enjoyed tremendous success, capturing six world championships. Both McLaren and Mercedes are British teams. Now, as he prepares to join Ferrari, an Italian team, some people doubt his ability to adapt to a different environment.
Toto Wolff acknowledged this skepticism but confidently stated that Hamilton will have a great experience with the Maranello-based squad.
I think many people say that it’s going to be really difficult. But I think if you say it’s going to be really difficult, then often it’s the opposite. Ferrari is a great team, great people, lots of emotion and passion and therefore it’s pressure. But I believe they are going to find a way of working with each other.
Toto Wolff told Motorsport
Ferrari’s legacy is deeply rooted in its rich history and remarkable success in motorsport. With 16 Constructors’ and 15 Drivers’ Championships, it has set the benchmark for excellence. Its iconic red cars and legendary drivers, like Michael Schumacher and Hamilton’s mentor Niki Lauda, have captivated fans worldwide.
Lewis Hamilton claims it will be an exciting time for him at Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton recognized the criticism about his Ferrari move, with some doubting his abilities and questioning his recent performances. He ended his win drought at Silverstone this year, proving that he’s still got what it takes to be at the top.
Hamilton has never doubted his potential for success with Ferrari as he believes in himself and is determined to replicate his past achievements. The Briton aims to win his eighth world championship with Ferrari and is genuinely excited about the new chapter.
Even today, there’s people continuing to talk shit, and it will continue on for the rest of the year.
Lewis Hamilton explained
And I’ll have to just do what I did in the previous time. Only you can know what was right for you. And it will be an exciting time for me.
Only six races remain until Lewis Hamilton joins his dream team, Ferrari. Like many others, he dreamed of driving for the Italian outfit as a child. Fans are also eagerly waiting to see Hamilton in the red suit and driving the SF25 next season.
