Lewis Hamilton: Martin Brundle is no doubt that Ferrari’s pilot can win the eighth world title on F1 | The news of F1

Lewis Hamilton still has what it takes to win an eighth world title on F1 after his transfer to Ferrari, according to Sky Sports F1Martin Brundle

Hamilton has enjoyed his first week of work in Ferrari after climbing behind their F1 2023 car wheel on their Fiorano test run in Italy on Wednesday, with 1500 spectators present.

The 40-year-old was watched by his family and completed 30 laps (55 miles) to get used to the new Riccardo Adam competition engineer and Ferrari car systems, having previously driven using the Mercedes power in F1.

“He’s obviously (worth the money), already,” Brundle said Sky Sports news.

“Two of the biggest names in the 75-year-old Formula 1 history, some may say the biggest names. Lewis Hamilton dressed in the dancing red, an absolutely extraordinary story. It’s a story, a gift, that will keep it giving for us to Sky F1.

“This is only Hamilton’s third team in Formula 1, and he will want to go there and show that, despite having just turned 40, he is not on the hill as some people said last year, and he will Wanting to show that the right decision has reached again will go there full of energy. “

But Hamilton was overcome by teammate George Russell in his latest season for Mercedes in 2024, especially in qualification where Russell led head to head 19-5.

He did not score a podium in the first nine races for the first time in his career and had questions about his speed.

Hamilton was controversial the world title in 2021 to Max Verstappen and equals Michael Schumacher in seven pilot championships, which Brundle thinks is a record that the British pilot can still break.

“There are some big challenges, his teammate Charles Leclerc has been there for seven years effectively and knows exactly where the buttons are, who does what and makes things happen,” Brundle said.

“Lewis will have to face this, and the fact that Leclerc is too fast. But I have no doubt that if Ferrari has a winning race or a championship machine, then Lewis can win the competitions and even the championship . “

Brundle: Hamilton is the best behind him but he is still quite good

Hamilton put an end to a series of 56 competitions without a win by triumphing at the British grand prize in July before adding a 105th record win in Belgium later that month.

However, there was little success during the rest of the season, but he showed images of his best shape with strong movements across the field in Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

“Let’s imagine Silverstone last year. When he had a chance to win the British GP, he won it,” Brundle said.

“He won in SPA, but it was a little lucky because George (Russell) was disqualified. Lewis was extraordinary throughout the training in Las Vegas and then made him in qualifications, something he had not used to do too much , and then it was extraordinary.

“I think the speed is there. I think Lewis Hamilton’s best is ahead or after him? I think it’s behind him.

“I think he has lost an advantage of age as you do. Sometimes he gets clashes that he came from before, but now he does not, or will make a mistake in qualifying. But I think 96-97 Percentage of Lewis Hamilton in a winning machine is still quite good.

“He has all the experience and his energy and enthusiasm will be resurrected from all the experience. He will not be overloaded by driving a ferrari as many pilots have. And let’s not forget, despite not being a pilot of Ferrari, the Italian Fans, known as Tifos, adore him even when he won with a Mercedes.
