Eddie Jordan has no doubts: Ferrari will be “incredibly strong” with Lewis Hamilton. Eddie Jordan feels Ferrari will return to being a major player next season.

Eddie Jordan has no doubts that, with such an in-form Lewis Hamilton, Scuderia Ferrari will return to challenging at the top in the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Hamilton back to being Hamilton
Alongside Oscar Piastri, Lewis Hamilton is the driver who has scored the most points in the last four races, even more than Red Bull and Ferrari, who have respectively collected only 78 and 75 points.

An important improvement after a lackluster start to the 2024 Formula 1 championship, in line with the miraculous recovery of a Mercedes that, since Silverstone, seems to have finally found its rhythm and unlocked the untapped potential of the W15 in the first third of the championship.

Thanks to his teammate’s disqualification in the Belgian Grand Prix at the 7.004-kilometre Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, the seven-time F1 world champion has also become the only driver so far, apart from Max Verstappen, to have won more than one race in 2024, with Charles Leclerc, Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, Oscar Piastri, and George Russell stuck at one win each.

The return to the top for Lewis has obviously not gone unnoticed in the paddock, with Eddie Jordan, speaking about the Briton on the Formula For Success podcast, having no doubts that Ferrari will be a major player next season thanks to such an in-form Hamilton: “I believe that at the beginning of the year he was focused on joining Ferrari, on having the right people, and on having Fred Vasseur by his side.”

“Ferrari will be a great team next year and will be delighted to see Lewis’s resurgence because there it’s not possible to say: ‘Look what we are doing at Mercedes, don’t worry, we can beat George, we can beat everyone, we will be strong.’ Mercedes will be strong in the future, but Ferrari will be incredibly strong.” – the Irish businessman, television personality and former motorsport team owner pointed out.

David Coulthard is of the same opinion, having endorsed the Irish businessman’s view: “He seems to be back at his best brilliance, while he is doing a sort of countdown to leave Mercedes. In reality, part of his mind will be focused on Ferrari, inevitably.” – the former Formula 1 driver concluded.
