Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari, and now Italian lessons: irony from fans on social media strikes again

Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari, and now Italian lessons: irony from fans on social media strikes again. How fans on social media imagine Lewis Hamilton's preparation for Ferrari.

Lewis Hamilton taking Italian lessons: that’s how fans on social media imagine the preparation of the seven-time world champion at Ferrari.

The bombshell news of the signing of the Mercedes driver arrived yesterday morning, quickly spreading like wildfire. Confirmation was then given in the evening. Hamilton will arrive in Maranello in 2025, while Carlos Sainz will conclude his adventure in red at the end of this Formula 1 season.

Lewis Hamilton will enter a completely new context; after eleven years at Mercedes, what will his stay be like in the Italian team? First of all, he needs to learn the language! The social media community wasted no time, as always, in creating memes about it.

How did Lewis Hamilton react as soon as he realized that the W15 was not up to expectations? Probably, he rushed to Maranello like this:

How will Lewis Hamilton communicate with his mechanics? Above all, will the Ferrari pit crew understand the meaning of “hammer time”? Some have doubts:

We have talked about the “legendary” misfortune of Charles Leclerc several times. The 2023 Formula One season for the Monegasque was marked by retirements (in the first part of the season, two out of three races). But also by several wrong strategies, incorrect pit calls from Ferrari, and a disqualification (in Austin).

We all remember when he was forced to retire due to a hydraulic problem on the formation lap. In short, it’s been five fiery years for the Monegasque in Ferrari. Some on social media think that #16 will take his new teammate on a tour of Maranello, showing him even the “darker” corners.
