"Lewis Hamilton may be eccentric, but driving a Ferrari is special" – Nigel Mansell
Today at 05:52 AM
Lewis Hamilton and Scuderia Ferrari, a partnership that could work according to former F1 World Champion Nigel Mansell. The British driver’s move to Maranello will happen in just a few months, with his debut in red at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix, but the topic is heating up. The Lion of England is confident: with a good car, Lewis Hamilton can still win.
The 2024 Formula 1 campaign is quickly coming to an end, with the World Championship battle still wide open. The last six races of the season will focus on the fight between Red Bull and McLaren, between Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, with Ferrari and Charles Leclerc playing a more outsider role. 2025 is already on the horizon, followed by the even more intriguing 2026.
In just a few months, there will be two major changes in the “Big Four” of the grid: Lewis Hamilton will join Ferrari, replacing Carlos Sainz, while his seat at Mercedes will be filled by Andrea Kimi Antonelli. Much more will be said about Lewis Hamilton’s move to the Prancing Horse, but one thing is certain: driving a Ferrari is something special.
"I've always been a fan of Lewis Hamilton and I predicted he would become one of the greatest of all time," Nigel Mansell explains to Top Offshore Sportsbooks. "I think ending his Formula 1 career by moving to Ferrari is a magical step for him. He won't realize it immediately, but as a former Ferrari driver in Formula 1, driving for Ferrari is something incredibly special.” – Nigel Mansell added.
"If you give Lewis the car, he will do his job: I predict he will have a fantastic time at Ferrari," the Briton continues. "He'll have an extra gear. He'll be motivated again, and I expect him to fight for the World Championship. Lewis can be eccentric at times, but he's a class act. No one can take away his achievements. Yes, he's had great cars and fantastic support and everything else, but Lewis is a great driver. I hope he can make it next year.” – the former Ferrari driver concluded.
