In the history of Formula 1, you will find very few people who have never driven for Ferrari. In 2025, Lewis Hamilton will also join this exclusive club. Let’s not forget that Ayrton Senna also decided to move to Ferrari and that they had a starting agreement with Luca di Montezemolo. It automatically raises the question of whether we will one day see Max Verstappen in red as well.
The Dutch racer may soon become a four-time world champion. If we exclude Hamilton, who is waiting for him in 2025, every pilot with at least four titles went for the Scuderia. Michael Schumacher, Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost, Sebastian Vettel and soon Lewis Hamilton.
The seven-time world champion’s move to Maranello was a big one. Even a look at the traffic on F1online.sk that day showed that whether you are a fan of Lewis Hamilton or not, you were very interested.
“I don’t care,” he answered Max Verstappen when asked if Hamilton’s move is good or bad for him. “I want to beat every driver and every car. I don’t care if it’s in a red car or a silver car.’
“However, I understand that there is a lot of interest in his move. It’s only good for Formula 1 and it will be interesting to see how they work with Charles.” sent Max.
He is known for his lack of interest in Formula 1 outside of race weekends. They don’t talk about her at home and they don’t even talk about her with her boyfriend’s father, Nelson Piquet. So when he saw those news at the end of January and February, according to his own words, it didn’t bother him at all. “It didn’t affect me and I didn’t feel any emotion,” he said Verstappen.
Hamilton’s move is proof of those legendary words of Sebastian Vettel “Everyone is a Ferrari fan”. For several years it looked like Hamilton might be the exception, but his latest move contradicted that. What about Verstappen? He says that the red car does not produce any emotions in him, although he himself is the owner of the road cars of the legendary brand.
“I look at it pragmatically,” explained the Dutchman. “I want to win and I want to ride where I have the best chance to win. Right now, it’s Red Bull. It’s not like I’m secretly dreaming of a red suit and it’s running through my mind because I’m looking for a new challenge.”
That is very clear, even if Max himself does not deny that the magic of Ferrari exists. “Of course, Ferrari is an amazing brand and has achieved a lot in this sport. It makes sense that Lewis took the opportunity when it came.” he announced Verstappen.
He will continue with Red Bull in 2025. He has a valid contract with this team until the end of the 2028 season, but despite this, there was speculation about his move to Mercedes this year. Although a future team change may still be open, Max has confirmed that he is committed to Red Bull for now.
“I’m happy with what I’m doing now, I want to continue and I’m not looking for a change. Therefore, all speculation is pointless. I decide and I don’t have to act now. I know exactly what my contract says and what my options are. You shouldn’t sign a paper if you don’t know what it says. But I don’t talk about my contract publicly,” he said Verstappen.
