It would obviously be a question of not being disrespectful to Lewis Hamilton. Considering his successes, his seven world championship titles, six of which have come in the last ten years, one would have to be crazy and naive to think that the Englishman is arriving in Italy on holiday or in early retirement. Lewis has always nurtured the dream of one day becoming a driver Ferrari, who has had some nice road models in his personal garage for several years.

The fact remains that at 40, the Briton is perhaps no longer the same driver he was three years ago, when he crossed swords with Max Verstappen, in what was undoubtedly the most beautiful fight of the 2021st century in XNUMX. Age obviously means everything and nothing, and it wouldn't even be

Sir Gold Lives Matter signed for a very big check ardently wanted by John Elkann. His goal is clearly to win an 8th title with the Scuderia to become the GOAT. If F1 2025 is a success, it is clear that racer Hamilton will be at the forefront; otherwise, weariness could set in faster than expected, especially since the transalpine environment will not give him any gifts on his private and stylistic "sides"

We'll see next year, but I have the impression that with his track record, fighting for 5th or 6th places doesn't interest him and that would be the case for anyone in his situation. On the other hand, when the car is capable of going for the victory, we saw it at work at Silverstone and he wasn't a retiree behind the wheel. So I think we'll see him at his best again. On the other hand, if the title escapes him 2 or 3 years in a row, he'll get tired of it like it was the case for Alonso and Vettel.
