Bernie Ecclestone predicts Lewis Hamilton will fail at Ferrari
Ex-F1 chie🌠f Bernie Ecclestone has cast major doubt🧸 about Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari move.
Former F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has predicted that168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton “won’t last” at Ferrari ☂following his blockbuster s🌌witch from Mercedes.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton stunned the world last February by announcing his switch to Fer꧙rari for 2025 follo🐓wing an illustrious 12-year stint with the Silver Arrows.
Hamilton has now completed hi✃s bombshell move and has been ramping up his preparations for his debut season with Ferrari🐻 by testing their 2023 and 2024 cars in recent weeks.
The 40-year-old Briton joined Ferrari on a multi-year d𝄹ꦐeal which is believed to cover at least the 2025 and 2026 seasons.
But in his latest swipe at F1’s m📖ost successfuꦍl driver, Ecclestone believes Hamilton’s time at Ferrari will end in failure.
"He won't last that long,” Ecclestone told .
“Piero Ferrari, who has taken him there, still thinks they've don💟e the right thing.ꦿ I hope they have.
“I h🦂ope they haven't just jumped in and end up wishing they hadn’t."
Ecclestone’s criticism appears to stem from his claim that Hamilto🎃n has lost motivation to win furꦆther F1 titles.
“I have my theory about this. It's not the age with drivers, it's how long they have been doing the same thing," 🤪Ecclestone added.
"I have thought with Lewis,☂ 'He's gettingꦍ tired. He has lost motivation.’
"If he had never won a world championship, it might be different, because then there would be an incentive to win one. But he has w♕on seven.”
And the ex-F1 chief even reckons Hamilton could make “enemies” at Ferrari due to the popularity of his teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc.
"The team is happy with Charles Leclerc, his team-mate. Leclerc speaks th🐻eir language, so they'll be looking after him," Eccleဣstone said.
"Even if Lewis does well🍸, there'll still be a lot of enemies, because he ha✤s suddenly arrived.”
Eccle🤡stone joins Alpine adv✤isor Flavio Briatore, ex-Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto and former F1 team boss Eddie Jordan in expressing doubts about Hamilton’s move to Ferrari.
Their comments follow what was a disappointing 2024 - and final season with Mercedes - for Hamilton, who was comprehensively outperformed by former teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.
