Luigi Mazzola highlighted on Race Anatomy one particular thing that Ferrari needs in order to dream big with the arrival of Lewis Hamilton.

Luigi Mazzola’s comments

These are the statements of the former Ferrari engineer: “Can Ferrari dream with Lewis Hamilton in 2025? Yes, but only if it will be a winning car.”

“If the car is not high-performing or competitive… I have the impression that Hamilton might ‘sit back’ a bit: for his age and everything he has won, he needs a winning car to stay motivated.” – the Italian pointed out.

“At that point, he returns to being the good Hamilton we know. So we hope, or at least I hope, that Ferrari will be up to the task next year.” – he added – “If that’s the case, we will see Hamilton as we saw him in England and Spa,” Luigi Mazzola concluded.

What the engineer stated might seem obvious to many, but it is not at all: to truly dream, a complete team is needed.

In the case of Lewis Hamilton in particular, we have seen how the Briton is significantly more brilliant under winning conditions; just look at the comparison with George Russell this year.

In short, if Ferrari manages to become a team without weaknesses, the seven-time Formula One world champion will certainly make his contribution on the track.
