Lewis Hamilton, a prominent figure in the world of motor racing, has been associated with the Mercedes team for a considerable period of time in Formula 1 before deciding to make a move to Ferrari. The 39-year-old has achieved remarkable success with the Brackley-based team in the premier motorsport category. Consequently, former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert has highlighted several intriguing scenarios that will arise following Hamilton’s transfer to the Italian team.
Herbert expressed his belief that there were indications of Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari. The British driver had already outlined his plans to promote inclusivity within the renowned manufacturer. In addition, Herbert emphasized that the 39-year-old brings along a significant amount of positive attributes. The seven-time world champion will introduce a “very influential” presence at the Scuderia’s headquarters.
Furthermore, Hamilton’s collaboration with the team has been highly commendable, according to the British driver. The 39-year-old’s work ethic has served as a tremendous source of motivation for everyone involved. Additionally, Herbert described the seven-time world champion as someone who possesses the ability to instigate change.
The departure of an aerodynamics expert from Red Bull in the 2024 season came as a surprise to many in the racing community. Numerous individuals speculated that this genius in the field of aerodynamics would contemplate joining Hamilton at Ferrari. Consequently, Johnny Herbert also believed that it would be advantageous for the 65-year-old to join the Scuderia. Furthermore, the 60-year-old driver-turned-pundit suggested that a conversation between these two legendary figures in Formula 1 had taken place.
Despite his impending move to Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton still needs to remain focused on his ongoing Mercedes project in the 2024 season, which has yielded positive results thus far. The Brackley-based team has provided the 39-year-old driver with excellent opportunities, as evidenced by his two victories this season. Therefore, the remainder of the season will witness Hamilton concluding his tenure with the Silver Arrows on a high note.
