John Elkann, the Ferrari president, has detailed why he believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton chose to join forces in 2025.

Hamilton is spending his final F1 season with Mercedes before linking up with the iconic Italian manuf꧙acture🐲r next year.

The move unites F1’s most successful💃 driver wit♏h its most successful team.

Elkann is widely credite♛d with putting the deal together after personally coꦯntacting Hamilton.

"I have always said over 𒀰the years how much Lewis is a great driver, how much he has done for F1,” Elkann told .

“He will join Ferrari and this is a sign of how much he believes he can do🅠 great things with us.”

Remarkably Oliver Bearman became the 😼latest British driver to represent Ferr꧅ari in an F1 grand prix in Saudi Arabia when he was drafted in to replace the unwell Carlos Sainz.

After the teenager brilliantly drove to a points finish,♚ Hamilton applaude💫d then embraced him.

"If oಞne thinks he can stay ahead of Hamilton and Lando Norris on his debut, I think Oliver will remember this for his whole life,” Elkann said.

“The hug that Lewis wanted ♋to give him shows what a great champion he is on and off the trac🍎k."

Despite the ꦜhype around Bearman, Ferrari have not yet been able to significantly worry the dominant Red Bul𓃲ls.

"If we look 🦋at where we were a year ago, we started better,” Elꩲkann admitted.

“The important thing is to improve and progress.

“This is the dynamic th🌟at exists in Ferrari and it should be praised and supported.

“There is ✅a desire to ensure that we bring the Ferrari to do the best possible and this was palpable tod🦩ay. This, I mean, from everyone."

Charles Leclerc completed the podium in Saudi Arabia behind Max Verstappen and𝓡 Sergio Perez.

"It was a great race,” Elkann said.

“We finished on the podium, Leclerc did the fastest lap and Bearman, the youngest Ferrari driver 🍒in F1 in our history who immediately scored points.

“And then Sainz who came here after being ꦍoperated on. This shows great team spirit🍃.

“I am very proud and I thank eve🐻ryone who worked to ♏obtain this important result."

Next year, Ferrari will unite Hamilton with Leclerc ꦇin an ey🏅e-catching duo.

After their🌼 first year together, the new F1 regulations will come into place.

✅Do these factors mean Ferrari can end their title-less streak that dates back to 2007?

"2026 wi🅷ll be a cycle that closes, then another will open,” the Ferrar🦩i president said.

“Thꦐe important thing will be to always be competitive and continue t꧙o fuel this spirit."
