Lewis Hamilton Ponders ‘Dream’ Ferrari F1 Drive

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has established himself as one of the greatest racers in the sport. He has been a McLaren and then a Mercedes driver to date. It won’t be too baseless if you imagine–what about the most legendary team in the history of F1, Ferrari? Won’t one of the greatest drivers in the sport want to be associated with the team with the greatest history in the sport? The answer is no. In fact, Lewis Hamilton said it’s “incredible” that he is going to have to retire sometime in the future, without ever putting on a Ferrari Suit.

The Maranello-based team has tried to rope in Hamilton, according to him. But they have failed on every occasion.

“For years, whenever I come to Monza and see the fans, I hear them say ‘Come to Ferrari’.”, the Mercedes driver told Sky Italia.

“This makes me very happy, but it’s incredible that I’ve been in the sport for so long and haven’t raced for Ferrari. Because that’s everybody’s dream, everybody’s goal to achieve.” Hamilton continued.

“This has never been possible and I will never know why. I wish them success and I think I will try to prevent them from becoming world champions in the near future.”

“I have a few Ferrari cars at home, but I’ve never been in a Ferrari in F1.”, said Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari has seen most of the big names in F1 drive for them

Even though the Tifosi have been able to lure in nearly all the big names in Formula One, the biggest one is out of reach for them. They managed to sign Sebastian Vettel who was a four-time consecutive World Champion with Red Bull in 2015. They managed to sign two-time world champion Fernando Alonso from Renault in 2010. And looking back, they have had legends like Michael Schumacher and Niki Lauda drive the Rosso Corsa car. But they haven’t and probably will not ever manage to sign up Lewis Hamilton, the biggest name in F1 right now.

Currently, Lewis in his Mercedes and Max Verstappen in his Red Bull are battling it out for the World Title. And Ferrari is fighting with Mclaren for the 3rd spot in the Constructors’ World Championship.
