Lewis Hamilton is considered one of the most successful drivers in the history of motorsport. The engineer who collaborated with him during his early years in F1 recently revealed that Hamilton’s performance in the GP2 sprint race in 2006, in Turkey, was the highlight of his racing career. According to Guyot, Hamilton’s display during the sprint race was nothing short of extraordinary.
During the GP sprint race in Turkey, Hamilton initially found himself in seventh place, but a spin early on caused him to drop to nineteenth. Despite the odds against him, Hamilton showed unwavering determination and fought his way back to the podium. Guyot recalled the incident, acknowledging Hamilton’s courage and relentless pursuit of victory. This race showcased the ambition and hunger for success that would eventually lead Hamilton to multiple world championships.
The news of Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 created a huge buzz at the beginning of this season. A former F1 champion, who has been associated with Ferrari for a considerable period, expressed concerns about the potential challenges that Hamilton’s arrival may bring. Villeneuve, in discussing the situation, shared his thoughts on the matter.
Leclerc was initially brought to the Red team with the expectation of becoming a future world champion. However, his performance has already been overshadowed by his teammate. Although Ferrari has traditionally given priority to Leclerc, the dynamics within the team are likely to change when Hamilton joins the Maranello-based team. Taking all these factors into consideration, the team dynamics in 2025 are likely to face a major shake-up.
