Can he win another title with Ferrari?
That’s the million dollar question. Hamilton will think so, otherwise he would not have made the jump to the most famous team in Formula 1.
The Briton wants an eighth world title and Ferrari wants a first World Cup since 2008.
He joins the Italian team at a good time, with Ferrari fighting for the Constructors’ Championship until the final race of the season last year before missing out by just 14 points. It was a big step forward considering they finished 454 points behind the winners in 2023.
Much will depend on whether Ferrari can continue that momentum and give Hamilton a car to challenge at the front, and how much of a threat his highly-rated teammate Charles Leclerc, who enjoyed his best season last year, poses.
It will also be up to Hamilton to rediscover his qualifying form, which seemed to abandon him last year, and continue the strong pace he showed in the race in 2024.
Who was the last Ferrari drivers’ champion?
Kimi Raikkonen He was Ferrari’s last world champion back in 2007. The Finn came out of the bushes to snatch the championship in Brazil, when his then McLaren teammates, Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, missed out.
