[Saba Sports News] This Wednesday, Lewis Hamilton made a highly anticipated debut as a Ferrari F1 driver. He tested the 2023 Ferrari F1 car at Fiorano to help acclimate himself to the new team. Following the test, photos of Hamilton officially debuting with the Ferrari team dominated social media. Currently, Hamilton’s photo, in which he is wearing Ferrari fireproof underwear, racing suit, and shoes, is valued at $500,000, with a special title: “The most iconic driver in F1 joins the most iconic team.” Many F1 figures, including Flavio Briatore and Eddie Jordan, believe Hamilton has passed his prime and are skeptical about signing him with the Ferrari team, suggesting that keeping Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc as a duo would yield better results. However, this week’s events clearly demonstrate that Hamilton’s influence transcends his on-track achievements for the team.
