“Ask a child to draw a car, and they will paint it red,” said Enzo Ferrari, founder of the world’s most legendary and famous car brand. And if that phrase is transferred to a pilot, the result is the same. Everyone wants to drive for Ferrari one day. For its history, its charisma, the passion of its ‘tifosi’ and being the team for all of Italy. And at the same time, the ‘Scuderia’ del Cavallino always wants to have the best in its ranks. From Juan Manuel Fangio and Alberto Ascari, through Niki Lauda, Alain Prost, Mansell, Villeneuve, its greatest champion Michael Schumacher, and in more modern times, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, among others yet. Two names are missing from that list. The first one, that of Ayrton Senna.
Senna met with Luca Montezemolo to negotiate his signing. They had to meet again to continue the conversation. Something historic. But in the same year, the legendary Brazilian died in an accident at the Imola Circuit (1994). Lewis Hamilton looks set to add his name to Ferrari’s list of impossibilities. In fact, the British granted it in 2021.
“For years, when I came to Monza and approached the fans, I could hear them saying: ‘Come to Ferrari!’ It warms my heart, but it’s a bit unbelievable that I haven’t driven for Ferrari for many years. Because it’s “A dream for anyone, a goal to achieve. It was never possible and I will never know exactly why.”he said in 2021. But that dream will come true in 2025.
The thorn is removed with a ‘last dance’ in red
Hamilton’s bet raises doubts, instead. Uncertainty. This may simply be the result of his desire to live the experience of being a Ferrari driver. In F1, the highest are victories, and wearing a red jumpsuit, in Monza, that feeling was multiplied by 100. Perhaps Hamilton accepted it as a ‘last dance’ and just wanted to get rid of that thorn, a something that seems impossible. .may follow before retirement. But as a great champion, he wants to succeed in red and he wouldn’t have signed for the Maranello team if he didn’t think he would win. There he was to meet his former boss at the Art Gran Prix, where Hamilton lifted the GP2 title, none other than Fred Vasseur. With him he wants to make more history.
The Italian team needs a super champion who will create excitement among some frustrated tifosi. The team has not had a drivers’ title for 17 years (since Raikkonen 2007). Although more than a giant like Lewis, they need a champion car. Without him, even if the Stevenage player works magic, he will not be able to achieve his goals.
If Hamilton wins the crown with Ferrari, he will win his eighth title. He will surpass 7 of Ferrari’s greatest legends: Michael Schumacher, and he will do it with ‘Cavallino’ on his chest. Unbelievable but true. Find out what Fernando Alonso or Sebastian Vettel haven’t achieved in all those drought years. The closest was the Asturian, in 2010 and 2012, with cars inferior to Vettel and he left tired without the championship car he needed. Since then, Ferrari has also failed to achieve the long-awaited crown and Vettel had to leave without a prize. Hamilton will try again with the ‘predestined’ Leclerc.
