Lewis Hamilton and those old words, “Every driver dreams of Ferrari”

The unexpected move to Maranello certainly did not come out of nowhere.

Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari in 2025, where he would team up with Charles Leclerc, è a prospect that is igniting the imagination of fans of the Cavallino and Formula 1 as a whole. The seven-time British world champion, who also in the course of his career in the top motorsport series has driven only Mercedes-powered single-seaters, has, however, never hidden the fact that he has always been fascinated by the Maranello marque.

Already in 2013, the first year in which he was a Mercedes driver after his long spell at McLaren, Hamilton declared that "itè not a mystery that every driver wants to drive for them, sooner or later". A full-blown wink to Ferrari came forò at the 2021 Monza Grand Prix, a season in which the Anglo-Caribbean was chasing in vain the historic eighth world championship of his incredible career.

"For many years I è happened to come to Monza, to walk next to the fans and to hear that they were asking me to come to Ferrari – Hamilton explained to 'Sky Sport' -. Their words warmed my heart, also because ité è quite unbelievable that in all these years I have never driven a Ferrari. And the red è always the red".

"I have two road cars at home, and those I can drive. But the Formula 1 Ferrari doesn’t. That però è a dream for any driver, as well as a goal to achieve. But for me, it è has never really been possible, and I will never be able to say with total accuracy whyé things have turned out this way,", affirmedò Hamilton.
