September 12th 2024.
In a surprising announcement, it has been confirmed that Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula One champion, will be leaving Mercedes to join Ferrari in the year 2025. This news has sent shockwaves through the racing world, as Hamilton has been with Mercedes for over a decade and has had tremendous success with the team.
When asked about his decision, Sir Lewis Hamilton expressed that he would have been honored to work with Adrian Newey, who is regarded as the greatest car designer in the history of the sport. However, Hamilton also stated that he is not disappointed that Ferrari missed out on signing him, as he has been privileged to work with two other championship-winning teams that did not have Newey as their designer.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Newey had signed a five-year contract with Aston Martin worth over £100million. This deal has made Newey the highest-paid designer in the sport and has sparked excitement for the team's future. Newey's designs have helped three different teams win a total of 13 drivers' championships and 12 constructors' championships.
Many had hoped that Newey would join Ferrari to work with Hamilton, especially after Newey had previously expressed interest in working with the legendary driver and team. However, it seems that Ferrari could not match the offer from Aston Martin, and Newey will now be working with drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll.
Despite the missed opportunity, Hamilton is not disappointed and remains focused on his goal of winning with Ferrari. He believes that there is still a lot that can be achieved with the team, and Newey's absence does not change that.
Meanwhile, Hamilton's former colleague and three-time champion, Max Verstappen, will also be without the expertise of Newey in his car. Verstappen expressed that he is not surprised by Newey's departure and is happy for his former colleague. He believes that Newey is looking for new challenges and sees this move as a new opportunity for him.
Verstappen also has high hopes for Aston Martin's success under Newey's guidance and wishes them all the best. With Newey's track record and the determination of Aston Martin's owner, Lawrence Stroll, it will be exciting to see what the future holds for the team. As for Hamilton, he remains focused and determined to achieve success with his new team, Ferrari, in the year 2025. The racing world eagerly awaits the start of this new chapter in Hamilton's career.
