Lewis Hamilton cheered by Ferrari fans in Imola: “See you next year! – VIDEO. Lewis Hamilton already envisions himself in red and was cheered by Ferrari fans.

Lewis Hamilton already envisions himself in red and was cheered by Ferrari fans at the end of the Imola GP, with Lewis extremely emotional.

For Mercedes, the race at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari was not satisfactory for both drivers behind the wheel of the W15 car. However, Lewis Hamilton can race with a smile, knowing he has the approval of his future audience. After the interviews and customary media duties, Lewis Hamilton engaged with his fans, who will see him wearing the Ferrari suit starting with the 2025 Formula 1 championship.

Mercedes is facing one of the most challenging periods in its Formula 1 history, with a car that doesn’t allow the drivers to compete for victory. After three years of regulatory stability, the end of Mercedes’ struggles still seems far off, with a significant gap from rivals Red Bull. This gap is also evident with Ferrari, the team Lewis Hamilton will drive for next year.

The seven-time world champion has never hidden his love for the Italian side and his dream of driving for them one day. From February 1, 2024, this dream became a reality, with both parties tasked with forming a dream team that has a clear goal: to bring the Formula 1 title back to Maranello. However, there are still 17 races to be completed before the final transition from Mercedes to Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton’s career at Mercedes saw him win and dominate in front of the Italian audience, which despised him for his dominance.

What happened in early February seems to have erased all the boos and sporting “hate” towards Lewis Hamilton. It’s as if the move to Ferrari has wiped away every negative memory, in favor of a love that has already blossomed. The love from Ferrari fans is indeed immense, and based on the reactions in Imola, the tifosi can’t wait for Lewis Hamilton’s arrival in 2025. After all, Ferrari comes first; “drivers come and go, but Ferrari remains,” said Enzo Ferrari, whose words speak volumes about the newfound love for a driver of his caliber.

This affection is also confirmed by a video at the end of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, with Lewis Hamilton, standing on the pit lane wall, soaking in all the love from his future fans. Lewis’s message was clear: “See you next year,” with the fans eagerly awaiting him in red.
