And former Ferrari driver Alesi thinks this will set him apart from the other F1 drivers, both all eight of them, but making a name for himself with Ferrari.
“He has nothing more to prove in another team,” the Frenchman told F1Maximaal. “But with Ferrari, that could change his life if his life is already that of a champion of champions.
“Winning with Ferrari will make him a hero forever. “
However, Hamilton will first have to face the challenge of Ferrari stalwart and favorite son, Charles Leclerc.
“It is difficult to plan,” Alesi said about his battle.
“Hamilton reads tires, read traffic. We can say that it has the experience, but I do not think it is only the experience. It has other sensations and is very strong in terms of career rhythm.
“Charles is very strong in qualifying and of course his starting position at the net is very important. It will be very attractive to see what happens between those two.
The Ferrari CEO, Benedetto Vigna, has shown that Lewis Hamilton will make his highly anticipated Ferrari debut next week, an F1-75 in the Fioran circuit.
“Lewis Hamilton will be with us next week,” Vigna said as Ferrari announced a new deal with Italian bank Unicredit. “We are in a position for almost everything, but not for everything, but we are going to fix it. “
“It is transparent that there is a wonderful expectation. There is a lot of enthusiasm and a wonderful preference to begin. Lately we are finishing the most recent details.
