Since then, 103-time GP winner Lewis Hamilton (39) has not won a race. The Brit no longer wants to talk publicly about this dark Sunday. But his current boss Toto Wolff (52) says: “We both still think about this race every day!”

Eleven seconds ahead

At that point, Lewis was clearly leading by eleven seconds when a Latifi crash sent the safety car onto the track. And because Masi did not position the field correctly and left the race open for another lap, Max Verstappen (26) won and took his first world title.

Hamilton never accepted this fact. He drove without success for two years and because his ambition did not give him rest and his confidence in Mercedes continued, he threw all his good intentions overboard and signed again for two years in the autumn of 2023 as third in the World Cup. With an exit clause.

Lewis is looking for motivation in 2024

Now, however, he has apparently lost confidence in Mercedes before the start of the season. And dream of a better future – at Ferrari. The former arch enemy will be welcomed with open arms in 2025.

Is Hamilton the savior? Can he finally get sensible sounds from the panic orchestra in Maranello? Media-wise, the hammer transfer is a solution for the Italians. Unexpected and priceless.

The signing of Hamilton is a coup by Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur (l.).

New fashion trend in Italy

Hamilton fans can no longer expect miracles in 2024 – in their hearts, the sensitive Lewis is already in Italy. And that is where the fashion-conscious Englishman comes into his own with his extravagant clothing. “This is a piece of my freedom!”

Italy is already looking forward to the superstar. What Alonso hasn’t done in five years (2010 to 2014) and Vettel in six years (2015 to 2020), Hamilton should do now. It is the first World Cup title since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.

Schumi ahead of Lauda and Vettel

Maranello once waited 21 years for the crown: from Jody Scheckter in 1979 to Michael Schumacher in 2000. The new red boss Fred Vasseur (54), who brought his friend and former driver Lewis (GP 2 champion 2006) into the red boat brought lured with promises: “Without success you are nothing at Ferrari!”

The statistics speak German in Italy: Schumi (72 wins), Niki Lauda (15) and Sebastian Vettel (14). The name Hamilton will probably never appear there.

Leclerc lacks lightness

At Ferrari, Hamilton faces the challenge of Charles Leclerc (26). The flawed Monegasse may have advantages in speed, but not in racing intelligence. Greetings from the Brit: 197 podium finishes in 332 races!

And that’s where his first teammate, Fernando Alonso (42), comes into play. With the Aston Martin Hamilton, the Spaniard shows what is possible in the old GP era. ‘I admire Fernando. I also want this unstoppable bite,” Hamilton said in his latest interview with Blick.

Alonso’s record: 378 races, 2 titles, 32 victories and three more world championships (once McLaren, twice Ferrari) missed by a total of eight points!

Charles Leclerc is fast, but the Monegasse drops out of the races far too often.

The world title is given away

Hamilton and Alonso have been active in the Formula 1 arena since 2007 (with a two-year break). At the time he dropped out of McLaren-Mercedes, now he has a lot of respect for his rival.

17 years ago this duo, each with 109 championship points, gave the title to Räikkönen and Ferrari (110). Only a change of place in a race would have eliminated the Finn. Old news.

World Cup door open from 2026?

The fans are wondering: does Ferrari have a real chance of winning the title again in the coming years? Blick sees Red Bull-Honda with the exceptional Verstappen at the front for the next two years.

But in 2026, when the regulations change and Honda switches to Aston Martin, the Bulls’ own engine will play the decisive role. If he slows down the Dutchman, the title door will be open for Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren!

Hamilton goes all in

In addition to Russell, Norris, Piastri and Leclerc, Hamilton must also hope for this opportunity. That’s why Hamilton will be at the poker table from 2025 – with a clear message: all-in.
