Lewis Hamilton will be repping the iconic red of Scuderia Ferrari from 2025 onwards. In light of this, the outfit’s team principal, Fred Vasseur has asserted that he is really looking forward to it.
The seven-time world champion has a tremendous pedigree at the pinnacle of motor racing. In recent times, he has got back to his level best and after 14 races, has already managed to amass two Grand Prix wins in Mercedes’s W15.
Keeping all this in view, Fred Vasseur is eagerly awaiting to see how Hamilton will contribute to Ferrari from 2025 onwards.
I also know his qualities and I am sure that he will contribute to the evolution of the team. It is not just a question of being fast on the track, but also of motivating and pushing the team.Fred Vasseur via FormulaPassion
The Frenchman is well aware of the qualities of the prolific Brit on and off the track. Hamilton has amassed six world championships in his stay at Mercedes and is often regarded as one of the best racers and motivators in the F1 paddock.

Lewis Hamilton’s experience of working at ‘top teams’ will be benefit Ferrari
While Fred Vasseur has insisted he is looking forward to joining hands with Lewis Hamilton, he also feels the latter’s wealth of experience will benefit the Italian team. Besides Mercedes, Hamilton has also been a part of a top team like McLaren.

Moreover, to date, Hamilton is the last world champion of the Woking-based team (2007).
In addition to being a seven-time world champion, he has a great deal of experience in working with top teams, such as McLaren and Mercedes.Fred Vasseur via the same interview
Hamilton was a bit lost in terms of track performance since the start of the ground-effect era. However, with the massive improvement in the W15, he has once again found his mojo and has started amassing race wins.
From Ferrari’s perspective, it will be in their best interest if the seven-time world champion can continue his ongoing form for the remainder of 2024. This will bode incredibly well for the Maranello-based team next year.
