Hamilton’s words have sent anxiety to the Ferrari fans who are counting on him for the future. After the farewell there will be the return.
The British champion’s final farewells to the Mercedes were full of emotional transport and it couldn’t be otherwise, given that their union has given the world records that are very difficult to match. We find ourselves before a man who has made his career a legend and for this reason Lewis Hamilton will always be grateful to the Petronas team. With the single-seaters that were made available to him, he wrote indelible pages of Formula 1 and, now, Ferrari fans hope he can repeat himself for at least another couple of years.
After that, Lewis Hamilton will also say goodbye to Maranello, but with a very clear idea in mind of what to do for his future. At least that’s what emerged from the statements made during the last speech, given just after the long farewell tour. In fact, the now former Mercedes driver has begun to slowly distance himself from the brand that has given him so much during his long career.
He started with donuts and then greeted the team directly in Abu Dhabi, then moved on to Kuala Lumpur, at Petronas, and finally to Stuttgart, at the Mercedes headquarters. It couldn’t be missing, then, his farewell speech at Brackley and Brixworth venues, where some interesting ideas emerged for its future, which is now ever closer.
Hamilton, after saying goodbye, already knows what to do
The expectations that Ferrari fans place on the champion from Stevenage are very high, also due to the excellent season finale of the two home cars. Alongside Charles Leclerc, a figure of Lewis Hamilton’s caliber can only be decisive for the fate of the Maranello brand.
Sir Lewis recently bid farewell to Mercedes and did so in an excited manner, to say the least. Wolff and Russell could not be missing on the stage where he released his last statements regarding the years spent with the now old team. Not even the single-seaters that made him so great, all lined up outside the campus together with the trophies won.
“Even though I’m gone, you will continue to be extremely successful because you are a group of incredible people,” with these words Hamilton began his long farewell speech, full of emotions and really interesting ideas. Then he continued: “I hope that the day I stop running, I can come back here and look back on the good memories with you.”
Finally, he concluded with a perspective for the future, which gave Ferrari fans a bit of a chill: “I hope I can come back here in a few years. I believe in you a lot and I am very proud of the success we have had in recent years” (Fonte:Formulapassion.it).
