Valtteri Bottas believes Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari could prove to be the “good trigger” that inspires his ex-team-mate to rediscover his best level again in F1.
In 2025, Hamilton begins a new chapter with Ferrari after ending his association with Mercedes a year prior. He aims for an eighth Drivers’ title with the Maranello-based team, which has not won a championship since 2008. There is skepticism about Hamilton’s success at Ferrari, especially given his struggles with Mercedes’ W15 car in the previous season. However, Bottas believes that a change in environment could reignite Hamilton’s performance. Ferrari finished 2024 as the highest-scoring team in the last eight races, making them a contender for the championship in the upcoming season. With close competition expected among the top teams, the battles on the track are anticipated to be intense and exciting for fans.
