Former Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan initially disapproved of Ferrari’s decision to dump Carlos Sainz for Lewis Hamilton, now he feels it was a wise choice.
At the beginning of last year, Hamilton announced his departure from Mercedes to join Scuderia, which led to Alonso moving to Williams. During that time, Jordan criticized Ferrari chairman John Elkann for the decision, calling it questionable. However, Jordan later praised Hamilton’s fit at Ferrari after seeing him in action and admiring a photo of him at Enzo Ferrari’s house. Jordan highlighted Hamilton’s stylish appearance and predicted the photo would become iconic. Despite some concerns, such as Hamilton’s crash during the Barcelona test, Jordan believes Ferrari made the right choice in signing the seven-time World Champion. On the other hand, Jordan’s podcast partner, David Coulthard, emphasized the importance of performance over personality in the World Championship, expressing a different opinion on the matter.
