In anticipation of the 2024 Formula 1 season, we have been inundated with news, both positive and negative. One positive news is the possible move of Hamilton to Ferrari, while a negative news involves a scandal surrounding Christian Horner. However, let’s focus on the positive aspects. Hamilton’s move to Maranello in 2025 has been hailed as the news of the century. This move has been speculated for a long time and its final confirmation is highly significant.
Traditionally, when a top driver joins Ferrari, there is always talk about a new era and the potential for success. The team has been seeking the glory it experienced between 2000 and 2004, when Michael Schumacher was at the helm and Jean Todt led the way. However, there have been many false hopes in the past. When Fernando Alonso joined in 2010 and Sebastian Vettel joined in 2015, there was great expectation, especially given Vettel’s German heritage and comparisons to Schumacher. Unfortunately, these hopes did not materialize.
Now, with Vasseur in his second season as head of Ferrari and making significant improvements to the team, the news of Hamilton’s arrival in 2025 has generated excitement among F1 fans and especially the passionate Tifosi. The potential resurgence of the legendary Italian F1 team is a much-discussed topic.
Emerson Fittipaldi, a respected figure in the world of motorsport, recognizes the seismic impact of Hamilton’s move to Ferrari. He used the analogy of basketball to emphasize how significant this move is.
In an exclusive interview facilitated by the media team at VegasInsider.com, the renowned Brazilian expressed his thoughts on the potential move of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari. According to him, Hamilton’s potential transfer to the Italian team can be compared to LeBron James joining the Los Angeles Lakers, as it would involve the biggest star in the sport joining the biggest team.
Hamilton’s decision to join Ferrari was a big surprise both for the Brazilian and the general public. He believes that this move will ignite a strong motivation within Hamilton to secure a championship victory with his new team. Based on his years of experience with Mercedes, it is expected that Hamilton will bring great knowledge and expertise to Ferrari as a driver.
Expressing his excitement, Fittipaldi admitted that he is looking forward to witnessing Hamilton’s journey with Ferrari. He drew a parallel between Hamilton and Fred Vasseur, comparing their potential partnership to the legendary duo of Michael Schumacher and Jean Todt. Fittipaldi previously worked alongside Vasseur during his time with the A1 team and praises his focused and serious demeanor, similar to Todt’s.
Highlighting their long-standing relationship, Fittipaldi emphasized that Hamilton and Vasseur have a history together, having worked together in F3 and F2. Despite facing highs and lows, victories and setbacks, they have a deep understanding of each other. This serves as the foundation for a strong and cohesive relationship that will extend throughout the team.
Fittipaldi believes that the collaboration between Vasseur and Hamilton will bring a positive transformation within the Ferrari environment. Drawing parallels with the impact made by Todt and Schumacher, he anticipates that this partnership will instill greater motivation, dedication, and high expectations within the team.
In another surprising twist, it was announced before the last F1 race in Miami that Adrian Newey would be leaving Red Bull after an impressive 19 years with the team.
And while Newey’s final destination has not been disclosed yet, there is significant speculation that the renowned F1 designer may be heading to Ferrari, resulting in the formation of another formidable team in Maranello.
“We are not sure where Adrian Newey will choose to go,” commented Fittipaldi, adding: “It would be fantastic to witness Adrian Newey collaborating with Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari.
“It would be an extraordinary occurrence for Ferrari and Italy to have Fred Vasseur, Lewis Hamilton, and Adrian Newey working together. What an exceptional combination.”
However, the former F1 champion of 1972 and 1974 is keeping an eye on potential changes in other teams as Max Verstappen contemplates his future after the recent instability at Red Bull in early 2024. Meanwhile, Mercedes is actively seeking a replacement for Hamilton, with their boss Toto Wolff openly expressing his desire to hire the current Dutch F1 champion.
So, could Newey potentially reunite with Verstappen at Mercedes? Fittipaldi stated: “A few months ago, he [Newey] was involved in several discussions with Toto Wolff. Given Toto’s loss of Lewis, it remains uncertain whether Adrian Newey could be a viable option.”
Verstappen had a less than ideal performance in the Miami GP, being overtaken by Lando Norris. Fittipaldi added: “Max is also expressing dissatisfaction with the car. It is not clear if he is trying to justify himself for the future. However, he is already complaining excessively.”
“In the early stages of the Miami GP, he had a three-second advantage. He managed to create distance in the first two laps, but then struggled to maintain it. He complained about the rear end of the car at the beginning and end of the race.
“I believe Max and Toto can establish a successful partnership, no doubt. Toto is an incredibly professional individual. With the best in his hands, I am confident he will be highly motivated, and Mercedes, with its vast experience, can deliver on its promises.
“It could be a potential scenario for Adrian to join them. Many possibilities may arise in the coming months in F1,” concluded the 77-year-old veteran.
