Lewis Hamilton and the Ferrari team need no introduction. They are synonymous with Formula 1, each one in its plane. The Briton dominated the start of the hybrid era with Mercedes and has seven world championships to his credit as a driver. Meanwhile, Formula 1 would not be such without Ferrari. It is for history, for the fans, for the drivers and for what the most important team of “la Máxima” means as a symbol.
It is not the first time that the name of Lewis Hamilton has been linked to Ferrari. In fact, if it came to fruition, he would be a bombshell with an unimaginable shock wave.
This time, the histrionic Eddie Jordan, a regular in the Formula 1 paddock and former owner of the Jordan Grand Prix team, who participated in F1 between 1991 and 2005, threw out a phrase that is being talked regarding a lot.
Who is Eddie Jordan and why his word has value
Jordan is quite a character and a great source of information regarding what goes on “behind the scenes.” In fact, in 2012, he was the one who anticipated that Lewis Hamilton would leave McLaren to go to Mercedes, when the German team was not a team with top cars. But the partnership between the British and the German racing cars brought out the best of both to mark an entire era.
After losing the title match to Max Verstappen in the last race of the unforgettable 2021 season, the 2022 regulatory change did not suit Mercedes. The structure commanded by Toto Wolff still has a hard time putting together a car that can fight on an equal footing with Red Bull. And, in fact, Hamilton is not comfortable, to the point that he is losing the duel with his teammate George Russell.
In an interview, Eddie Jordan indicated that Hamilton needs a change of air to renew his expectations. At the end of this 2023 the contract between Lewis, 38, and Mercedes ends. “I think he would love to win his eighth title, but I am convinced that he should go to Ferrari,” said Jordan, although he was quick to clarify that “it’s just me talking nonsense.”
The situation of Hamilton and the situation of Ferrari
“I don’t want it to be outdated,” added the Irishman, who wants to see Hamilton in a car with options to fight up front. And he highlighted that when the Englishman left McLaren for Mercedes he saw him “reinvigorated, rejuvenated, and we know what he has done since then. I think it’s time for him to move on.”
And he closed: “If you have the opportunity to go somewhere, you should go to Ferrari because all the great champions should have at least one step at Ferrari because the brand exudes style and greatness.”
Meanwhile, the Italian team has a contract with the Monegasque Charles Leclerc and the Spanish Carlos Sainz until the end of 2024. In other words, an eventual pass from Hamilton to the Cavalino Rampante is not so simple. Time will tell if it’s just gossip or if the river sounds because it brings water…
