Lewis Hamilton To Continue His Fight For 8th Title At Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton rocked the Formula 1 community when he announced his move to Ferrari following the conclusion of the 2024 F1 season. The historic move was unprecedented as Hamilton had agreed on a two-year extension contract with Mercedes just five months ago. However, due to irreconcilable differences and multiple instances of alleged disrespect, the acclaimed British driver pulled the plug to embrace a new challenge at Maranello at the age of 39. Meanwhile, ahead of his iconic switch, the seven-time world champion shared his future plans and goals he wants to achieve in the red suit. “You’d always look at the screen and wonder what it would be like to be in a red car,” Hamilton said.
Interestingly, Lewis Hamilton revealed that driving for Ferrari would be an interesting experience, and he would undoubtedly push to reclaim his lost eighth championship title. “I’m working towards the eighth. I’ve just got to keep pushing,” the 39-year-old added. Notably, Ferrari, who started the season as defending champions Red Bull’s direct competitors, lost ground after the Spanish Grand Prix as the engineering team got the ambitious upgrade package wrong. On the other hand, Lewis’ current team, Mercedes, have won two back-to-back races in Austria and Silverstone, thus witnessing a sudden rise after the front wing upgrade. However, despite the steep decline, Hamilton is firm and confident in his choice to move to Ferrari. He is still committed to dropping down the curtain on his 12-year-long association with Mercedes on a high and starting fresh on a clean slate with the Italian team.
