Former team principal Günther Steiner understands why Lewis Hamilton has chosen to relocate to Italy. The reigning world champion will be swapping Mercedes for Ferrari next season. According to Steiner, Hamilton seeks a fresh challenge by becoming a driver for the ‘magical’ Ferrari, with aspirations of clinching an eighth world title.
In 2025, Lewis Hamilton will make his move to Ferrari. The seven-time world champion announced this shift early in the season, prompting the kickoff of what is colloquially known as silly season. Steiner, the ex-team principal of Haas, comprehends Hamilton’s decision to transfer to Maranello.
Hamilton Embarks on a New Journey
“I believe he aims to achieve something magical, which is to restore Ferrari to championship-winning glory. That’s clearly his motivation,” Steiner shared during the Beyond the Grid podcast. “While I haven’t directly spoken to him about it, I can deduce that this is why he wants to be there and aim to reclaim the title.”
Chasing an Eighth Title
Steiner noted that Hamilton has already amassed everything there is to win, intensifying his quest for a new challenge. “One might think Hamilton is saying to himself, ‘As the GOAT (greatest of all time), I have seven championships under my belt. What’s next? What if I could chase that eighth title, maybe with Ferrari?’”
If Hamilton secures his eighth championship with Ferrari, Steiner joked that the British racer would find a remarkable opportunity awaiting him. “If he wins his eighth or even manages to secure a championship for Ferrari, that guy will end up in the Vatican!” the former team principal quipped.
The Majesty of Ferrari
Furthermore, Steiner emphasized that Ferrari holds a unique position in the world of motorsport that makes it an exceptional team for any driver. “It’s simply the allure and history that Scuderia Ferrari embodies. Being part of such a legacy offers a rare opportunity,” he explained. “Hamilton is also in a good place working closely with Fred Vasseur. Their close relationship suggests they’re trying to accomplish something special together, and if they succeed, it will be incredibly rewarding for both.”
Hamilton’s Future at Ferrari
The future appears promising for Hamilton as he gears up for this new chapter. The challenges that Ferrari presents may not .comy enhance his legacy but also redefine what it means to be a champion in Formula 1. With such ambitions ahead, Hamilton’s decision to drive for Ferrari could very well mark an exciting evolution in his illustrious career. As he steps into the iconic red aura of Ferrari, the sporting world will eagerly watch how this transition unfolds, revealing if he can indeed turn the tides back for one of the sport’s most legendary teams.
