Sir Lewis Hamilton will join Ferrari next year, and the fans can’t wait any longer to see it. It is a special moment as the most successful racer joins the most successful team. Legends of the sport had driven for the iconic Italian team. But arguably, the biggest legend of the sport of all time is the great British racer.

But as every good thing comes to an end at some point, the Mercedes era ended in 2021. For the last two years, Hamilton has been trying his best to win a race with the Mercedes car. But he could not do it. Now, who knows what the future holds for Hamilton with Ferrari? Lately, Ferrari’s President discussed Hamilton’s move.
