Why Hamilton could be heading to Ferrari

“Every racer would like to drive for Ferrari at least once in their career,” said the former F1 driver Gerhard Berger for an Austrian periodical The Crown newspaper.

“Probably all the important pilots were already there. The only Ayrton Senna didn’t finish there because he realized that ‘I just can’t win there’.” the 63-year-old Austrian remembered his teammate from McLaren, with whom he had a very good relationship.

“It is possible that Lewis thinks similarly. However, if he feels that he won’t get a competitive car at Mercedes and that there won’t be a place for him at Red Bull, then it may happen that he doesn’t want to quit without trying with Ferrari and helping them ‘kick it up’.” thinks Berger, who managed to win five times with the “reds”.

“Lewis may have thought he would never leave his family at Mercedes, but that means nothing in F1. No one has ever bet on that before.” added the former famous Austrian racer.

Formula 1 needs Hamilton in Ferrari

The former owner of the Jordan Grand Prix team, which was part of F1 from 1991 to 2005, is convinced that the most successful racer of the current “e-unit” should definitely head to Maranello. Just from the point of view of the sport itself.

“Formula 1 needs Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari and Ferrari needs Lewis Hamilton,” cites Eddie Jordan portal planetF1.com. The native of Dublin thinks so only from the point of view of the statements of the head of the Mercedes team, Toto Wolff, according to which his famous competitor should change his place of work if he does not get his hands on the winning single seat.

“The new contract is still not signed and what would I think after those words if I were Hamilton? Do they still like me here? What is actually going on here at Mercedes?” ponders Jordan, who would not be surprised if Lewis moved on after 10 years at Mercedes.

“Hamilton is a McLaren boy, but I can’t imagine he wants to go back, seeing how they are doing. The only team I think Hamilton could head for is Ferrari. Or will he stay in Mercedes,” says Jordan, according to whom even a variant with Red Bull is out of the question, because there is satisfaction with the driving pair of Max Verstappen – Sergio Pérez.

Therefore, the experienced Brit could replace the increasingly dissatisfied Monaco Charles Leclerc. “He is the type of racer that suits Mercedes. Seeing Leclerc in the same team as George Russell would be amazing. I would definitely look into it because it would be a dream connection.” continues Eddie Jordan.

“I’m sure everyone in F1 would love to see Hamilton swap Leclrec. That would be something wonderful.” he added.

Ferrari? Lewis Hamilton is said to think differently

Hamilton’s compatriot has a different view of the matter Johnny Herbert, who drove in F1 between 1989 and 2000 and took three victories. According to him, if Lewis really went to compete with Ferrari, he would replace the Spaniard in the cockpit carlosa sainza jr.

“Can something happen at Ferrari? If there is to be an exchange, I would rather say that it will be for Carlos. If only for the reason that Charles has done probably the most consistent work in the last few years,” 58-year-old Herbert was interviewed for the portal givemesport.com.

“But is Ferrari the best address for him? Everyone knows that there has always been optimism, but it has never been able to turn into a real concept. Last year they seemed to fly out of the garage, but in the end everything completely fell apart due to various reasons. And that’s exactly what makes Mercedes a better address for his winning plans.” he thinks.

“It’s perfectly normal for a racer that Ferrari is the team he should try, but I don’t think that applies to Lewis. He only thinks about winning, being the fastest, and Mercedes has given him all this for a large part of his career.” added Johnny Herbert.
