Hamilton's brave new beginning: from Mercedes to Ferrari!

Maranello, Italien - The change of Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari marks an epochal moment in his career. At the age of 40, Hamilton started a new chapter and leaves the successful Mercedes team to help Scuderia Ferrari get new fame. When he wore his new colors, he addressed a motivating message to his fans: "To everyone who wants to take the next step in 2025: take the change". These words illustrate the size of his challenge, since Ferrari has been waiting for the driver's title for over a decade. The last win came from Kimi Raikkonen in 2007, which increases the pressure on Hamilton when he has to prove himself in a team that has not been able to lead big names in recent years such as Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, as lessentiel.lu reported.

The challenge of Scuderia

Hamilton's contract term at Ferrari is initially two years and his team -mate Charles Leclerc will act as a benchmark. Leclerc, who is already at Scuderia in his seventh year, strives for his first driver and speaks fluently Italian, which underlines his integration in the team. Hamilton takes over the cockpit from Carlos Sainz, who had to give way despite solid performance. The upcoming test drives in Bahrain will show at the end of February how competitive Hamilton is at the age of 40, before the season begins in Melbourne in March, so kosmo.at
