Sebastian Vettel highlights the “biggest shift” Lewis Hamilton must overcome at Ferrari
“It’s 💝a different culture. Obviously most of the teams aꦓre English, only two are Italian. That’s probably the biggest shift.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel believes the change in culture at Ferrari is the biggest challenge 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton will have to overcome to succeed.
Hamilton will race for Ferrari for the first time at this weekend’s season-opening F1 Australian Grand Prix.

Since then, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Felipe Massa, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, and Vettel have come close, but ultimate succes🃏s eluded them.
🤪Ferrari are expected to challenge for both titles in 2025 following a strong 🌠end to last year.
Vettel, one of Hamilton’s close friends who raced for Ferrari between 2015 and 202🎉0, gave his perspective on the seven-time worl𒀰d champion’s move to Maranello.
🍌Speaking to, Vettel said: “It’s big. Anybody who changes team, it’s a big move. New people you work with is probabl👍y the biggest one.
“It’s a different culture. Obviously most of the teams🍃 are English, only two are Italian. That’s probably the biggest shift.”
“Special” moment for Hamilton
Vettel joined Ferrari in 2015, hoping to replicate his idol, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher, in bringing a world title to Ferrari.
The German pushed Hamilton hard in 2017, but poor reliability and an incident on the opening lap of the Singapore Grand Prix curtailed Vettel’s🍎 season.
Ferrari were slightly stron💮ger than Mercedes for much of the 2018 season, at least up until Singapore, but Vettel made a number of key mistakes, including crashing out of the German Grand 🍰Prix.
This ulti𒐪mately handed the title to Hamilton and Mercedes with a few races to go.
Vettel would be out-performed by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc across 2019 an෴d 2020𒅌, leaving the team at the end of the COVID-hit season.
Vettel says driving for Ferrari will be “special” f🐬or Haౠmilton, even if they didn’t have the same childhood hero.
“I🔯 grew up watching Michael. He was my hero and he was most of the time in red, so to me it felt🐟 different because of that.
“I’m not sure Lewis had the🐼 same dream, but I think it’s special for anyone who gets the chanꦡce to step into the red car.”
