Ferrari Chief Vasseur Exposes Secret Plan to Lure Lewis Hamilton to the Team
In a shocking revelation, Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has exposed a secret plan to lure seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton to the team. Vasseur, who took over as Ferrari’s team principal in January, revealed that the team has been working on a long-term strategy to bring Hamilton to Maranello.
According to Vasseur, Ferrari’s plan to sign Hamilton has been in the works for several years, with the team carefully monitoring the British driver’s contract situation and waiting for the perfect moment to make their move.
“We have always been interested in having Lewis Hamilton in our team,” Vasseur said in an interview. “We believe that he is one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula 1, and we would be honored to have him drive for Ferrari.”
Vasseur revealed that Ferrari’s plan to sign Hamilton involves a combination of factors, including the team’s on-track performance, its technical capabilities, and its ability to offer Hamilton a competitive package.
“We know that Lewis Hamilton is a driver who is used to winning, and he will only consider joining a team that can offer him a competitive car,” Vasseur said. “So, our goal is to build a car that can fight for the championship, and to create an environment that will allow Lewis to perform at his best.”
While Vasseur did not reveal any details about Ferrari’s negotiations with Hamilton, he did confirm that the team has been in contact with the British driver’s management team.
“We have a good relationship with Lewis’s management team, and we have been discussing the possibility of him joining Ferrari for some time,” Vasseur said. “But, as you can imagine, these kinds of negotiations are always complex and take time.”
Ferrari’s pursuit of Hamilton is a clear indication of the team’s ambition to return to the top of Formula 1. With Hamilton’s contract with Mercedes set to expire at the end of 2025, Ferrari is hoping to persuade him to join the team and lead its charge for the championship.
Only time will tell if Ferrari’s plan to sign Hamilton will come to fruition, but one thing is certain – the team’s pursuit of the British driver is a clear indication of its commitment to returning to the top of Formula 1.
