Lewis Hamilton may have a joint-record seven Formula 1 titles to his name, but he suggested winning the championship with Ferrari would be the most important yet.

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari have been backed to succeed by a former Scuderia F1 driver. Gerhard Berger says he would put his money on Ferrari winning at least one world championship title in F1 2025.

Vasseur said Hamilton was the “perfect fit” for Ferrari right now, while Leclerc thought the Briton was joining at the ideal point as the team’s mentality is now stronger than ever, in part thanks to Vasseur’s leadership. No longer in a rebuild, the championship is a realistic goal for Ferrari.
