“Vettel Throws Full Support Behind Hamilton for 2025 F1 Glory with Ferrari”
In an unexpected turn of events, retired Formula 1 legend Sebastian Vettel has thrown his weight behind Ferrari’s latest recruit, British superstar Lewis Hamilton, to clinch the World Championship title in 2025. Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari has been the talk of the town, a childhood dream come true for the British racer.
The start of the season for the Ferrari newcomer has been a roller coaster, from a disappointing 10th place in the Australian Grand Prix under challenging weather conditions to a triumphant victory in the Chinese Grand Prix’s Sprint Race, only to be later disqualified due to a technicality involving excessive skid-block wear.
Vettel and Hamilton share a history of rivalry and respect, having battled fiercely for the title back in 2017 and 2018. Their bond, further strengthened by their mutual decision to switch from successful teams to Ferrari, makes Vettel’s endorsement of Hamilton an intriguing twist in the 2025 F1 saga.
Despite his own unsuccessful attempt to bag Ferrari’s first Drivers’ Championship since 2007, Vettel seems to have unwavering faith in Hamilton’s ability to do so. “My fingers are crossed for him,” Vettel confessed in a recent interview with BBC Sportsworld. He further praised Hamilton’s outspoken nature and on-track prowess, stating that the latter’s statistics are testament enough to his skills.
Vettel, who began his championship-winning streak in 2010 with Red Bull, switched teams at the end of 2014. He wisely refrained from making any concrete predictions for the 2025 championship, stating that it is too early and the competition is too fierce to call. He emphasized the strength of Ferrari’s lineup and didn’t rule out anyone from the championship race.
As it stands, McLaren’s Lando Norris is leading the championship. Max Verstappen, despite not having any victories so far in 2025, trails Norris by just eight points. Norris’ team member, Oscar Piastri, currently occupies the fourth spot in the standings.
The dynamic duo from McLaren are favorites to take the F1 title this season, having already tasted victory. Piastri’s triumphant run from pole to flag in China was a powerful response to Norris’ Melbourne victory.
As the 2025 F1 championship unfolds, Vettel’s endorsement adds an extra layer of intrigue to the mix. Will Hamilton win his record-breaking eighth title with Ferrari? Only time will tell.
