There’s no doubt about it: Lewis Hamilton’s impending switch to Ferrari is the biggest driver move in 21st century Formula 1. And it’s one that plenty stand to gain from – with one particularly obvious loser from it all, too
Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari is the biggest news in the Formula 1 driver market of the 21st century, impacting all parties involved and the wider F1 driver market. This change benefits many and also has a clear loser. It confirms Sebastian Vettel’s statement that everyone is a Ferrari fan. Ferrari may not have had recent success, but it remains a team that attracts the greats. The move also allows George Russell to step out of Hamilton’s shadow at Mercedes and take on the role of the team’s main driver. This opens up opportunities for young talent like Andrea Kimi Antonelli to progress through the ranks and potentially join the main Mercedes team in the future.
