[Saba Sports News] British F1 driver Lewis Hamilton had a very successful career with the Mercedes team, becoming a seven-time world champion alongside Michael Schumacher. However, next season, he will leave Mercedes to join Ferrari. Whether Hamilton can continue to achieve success at Ferrari is currently the most concerning issue for fans. Some fans have suggested that Ferrari could completely adopt Mercedes’ methods, such as giving Hamilton full autonomy, designing the car based on his driving style, and maintaining good personal relationships with him among the team’s upper management. However, Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur stated in an interview that Ferrari will not simply copy Mercedes’ methods. The main reason is that while the Mercedes team operated well at first, it did not end well. Regarding Hamilton, he brings not only speed and pure racing issues but also a wealth of experience and the champion mentality from winning seven world titles. For any team, having a driver who can bring different experiences is very important. We know Hamilton very well; we understand his motivations and work style. We don’t want to compare ourselves to other teams, but we believe Hamilton will integrate perfectly into our system.
