Lewis Hamilton had deemed his shocking switch to Ferrari before the commencement of the 2024 season. Hence, multiple people have continued to race questions over the entire matter, especially during Ferrari’s slump. Regardless, Hamilton will enter Maranello and attempt to take the team to greater heights in the pinnacle of motorsport.

Lewis Hamilton had already noted that a lot of work had to be done in the Ferrari crew regarding inclusivity after deeming a move to the team. Subsequently, the Briton will be paired up with Charles Leclerc and form a formidable pair.

Additionally, Ferrari’s expertise will be combined with Hamilton’s skills to help the Italian constructor soar to a world championship. Guenther Steiner believed that this would be a great situation.

Can you imagine if he starts to win with Ferrari, like he does now with Mercedes? What a hero he will be to the world.

In addition to this, Steiner reckoned that Lewis Hamilton was already a legend without a doubt. However, taking Ferrari to the world championship would be the goal for the 39-year-old. The Italian-American added that this was Hamilton’s dream and reason to enter the Italian constructor. As a result, winning the championship as a Ferrari driver would enable the Briton to be ‘remembered forever’.

I mean, he's already a legend without a doubt, but if he takes Ferrari to a world championship, and I think that is his dream and reason to go there, he will be remembered forever.

Guenther Steiner believed Lewis Hamilton ‘not lacking confidence’ ahead of the Ferrari move

Lewis Hamilton has continued to score great results with Mercedes amidst the upturn in performance. Hence, the performance will only go ahead from this point onwards. Steiner mentioned that the Briton would be questioning the entire move and other contingencies. Regardless, Hamilton wasn’t lacking in confidence after performing at the pinnacle of his career in the past.

So obviously, he will be thinking ‘what if' but he's not lacking confidence. After seven times being a world champion, I think he is in a good space.

Hamilton’s current priorities lie in ending the season with Brackley on a high. The Briton has already scored two race wins amidst McLaren’s dominant pace. The latter half of the season is looking promising with great racing action and battles for the contention of the drivers’ title.
