[Saba Sports News] The news of F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari shocked the entire paddock. Recently, former F1 world champion Damon Hill discussed Hamilton and his team during a media interview. Hill believes that if Ferrari’s car is not competitive, Hamilton will quickly end his collaboration with the team. He stated, “If Hamilton is driving a non-competitive car, he will exit the team faster than a scalded cat; I have no doubt about that.” It is reported that Hamilton has signed a contract with Ferrari for at least two years, with an option for a third year. This means that if Ferrari’s performance is unsatisfactory, Hamilton has the right to choose to leave during the contract period. The author believes that as a seven-time world champion, Hamilton has very high demands regarding car performance and team competitiveness. His decision to join Ferrari likely reflects his appreciation for Ferrari’s advantages in racing technology and historical legacy.
