Lewis Hamilton joined the renowned Italian team to “enjoy his retirement,” but Ferrari chairman John Elkann has stated that the team’s objective is to win an eighth Formula One championship with Hamilton. Hamilton’s abrupt switch to Ferrari was revealed in February, ending his lengthy affiliation with Mercedes. It joined the best driver and constructor in Formula One together, shocking the sports world. Since Kimi Raikkonen left Ferrari in 2007, the team has not won an F1 drivers’ championship. Hamilton will try to put an end to Ferrari’s protracted quest for the biggest honor in motorsport. With Hamilton behind the wheel, Elkann knows exactly what he wants. “There are certain things that happen very quickly,” he told Corriere dello Sport. This was the turning point in his and Ferrari’s relationship. “He desires victory.”
