The main topic of discussion regarding the 2024 Miami Grand Prix is the departure of the most renowned Formula 1 designer from Red Bull. It is widely believed that this designer has signed a contract with Ferrari and will be responsible for creating the team’s car for the 2026 season.
The news of Newey’s move to Maranello, following in Hamilton’s footsteps, is expected to be officially announced by Ferrari after the Miami Grand Prix. It comes as no surprise that the Mercedes driver has been bombarded with questions about the saga surrounding Newey’s departure from Red Bull.
During the Formula 1 drivers’ press conference organized by the FIA before the Miami Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked about the prospect of working with Newey. He expressed admiration for Newey’s impressive track record and his ability to engage with teams and share his extensive knowledge. Hamilton believes that Newey would be a valuable addition to Ferrari, a team that is already making significant strides this year. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with Newey in the future.
When asked if Newey had any influence on his decision to leave Mercedes for Ferrari, Hamilton refused to provide details, stating that it was a private conversation. However, he acknowledged that Newey would be at the top of his list of people he would love to work with.
As for the reality of Newey joining Ferrari, Hamilton remained tight-lipped, saying, “I don’t know. Let’s wait and see.”
When asked about the impact of Newey’s departure from Red Bull after their two-decade partnership, Hamilton shared his perspective from his time at McLaren. He joined the team shortly after Newey’s exit, but had the privilege of driving a car that evolved from Newey’s concept. Recognizing the challenge of competing against a team so closely associated with Newey, Hamilton emphasized the importance of acknowledging the collective effort of a team rather than relying solely on an individual. He expressed confidence in Red Bull’s ability to continue building great cars and stated that any team would be fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Newey.
At 39 years old, Hamilton is one of the most experienced drivers on the racing grid, second only to his long-time rival Fernando Alonso. However, he has only competed for two teams in the elite category of motorsport – McLaren and Mercedes. Therefore, his upcoming move to Maranello in 2025, which was announced a year in advance, is uncharted territory for him.
“This is a completely new situation for me,” reflected Hamilton. “It’s a unique scenario. On one hand, I’m incredibly excited to join my new team and work with my colleagues. On the other hand, I’m also excited about what the future holds. It’s been great to see the positive response from fans, as I’m now interacting with supporters from both teams.”
“However, at this moment, my loyalty still lies with Mercedes. I am determined to continue performing at my best and elevate the team. This is not just my job, but also my personal goal for this year. Despite the challenges we face, I am proud of the unity and resilience of everyone I work with.”
“I really believe that things will get better and I remain hopeful for the rest of the year,” Hamilton added optimistically, even though he is currently going through a third consecutive season without a victory in sight.
Regardless of Newey’s presence or not, Hamilton eagerly awaits his move to Ferrari. With Mercedes struggling this season, he can hardly wait for the change. He hopes that this change will reignite his winning streak in Formula 1, allowing him to achieve his 104th Grand Prix victory and potentially secure his long-awaited eighth world championship.
