F1 star tells Ferrari he wants to replace Lewis Hamilton
A current F1 star has expressed their readiness to potentially replace seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari. Hamilton is widely regarded as the most successful driver in F1 history, boasting numerous records for race victories, podiums, pole positions, and world championships. Since his move to Ferrari in 2025, Hamilton has struggled to replicate his previous success, with only one podium finish and a significant points gap to his teammate, Charles Leclerc. With Hamilton’s contract expiring soon, the team may consider younger, more cost-effective options like Haas driver Oliver Bearman, who has shown promise with strong performances and consistent results. Bearman himself has indicated his willingness and readiness to step up to a top team like Ferrari, emphasizing the importance of self-improvement, self-analysis, and unwavering self-confidence in pursuing his goal.
