Lewis Hamilton is preparing for his last season with Mercedes before moving to Ferrari. The seven-time world champion recently announced his decision to join Ferrari for the 2025 season, fulfilling a childhood dream of driving for the iconic team. Despite the move, Hamilton remains grateful to Mercedes for his six championship victories and will continue to support the team.
Hamilton had little time to make his decision between staying with Mercedes or joining Ferrari. He informed his teammates last month that he would be leaving Mercedes at the end of the season. Although he is excited for his future with Ferrari, Hamilton expressed his gratitude to Mercedes and his ongoing support for the team, as well as his support for his first team, McLaren, after leaving them for Mercedes.
The new Red Bull car has caught attention due to its similarities to the concept abandoned by Mercedes for their 2022 and 2023 cars. The RB20 shares design elements, such as the sides and the engine cover known as “The Great Wall.” However, Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff claims that the true internal workings of the RB20 remain hidden.
Wolff explained that Red Bull chose to follow wind tunnel recommendations instead of relying on a proven concept. The RB20 features a unique engine cover design, known as “The Great Wall,” which Red Bull adopted based on its effectiveness.
The 2024 season will witness a battle between Hamilton in his farewell season with a redesigned car and Red Bull, inspired by Mercedes’ W14 and expected to dominate its rivals. Fans eagerly await this thrilling showdown.
