F1 steward Johnny Herbert sees similarities between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Michael Schumacher in how t♏hey can galvanise a team, stressing the importance of the “human element”.

Hamilton embarks on a new journey with Ferrariꦉ in F1 2025 after leaving Mercedes following 12 years with them.

This week, the seven-𓄧time world champion visited Maranello for the first time before taking to the track in Ferrari’s 2023 F1 challenger.

Hamilton hopes his switch to Ferrari will culminate in a record-br𝓰eaking eighth F1 title triumph.

Schumacher won five of his seven F1 titles with Ferꦗrari between 2000 and 2004 and was often credited for his ability to work with the teaꦦm on a human level.

Speaking to , Herbert feels that Hamilton can follow in Schumacher’s fo♉otsteps.

“The drivers’ comments are still very important,” Herbert said. “There have been times over the last five yeaꦛrs where the simulator and their algorithm are the most important thing, and it’s the biggest direction they use for the development of the car.

“And then as we’ve seen with Mercedes, just for example, where they struggled like hell and then they started listening to the drivers a little bit more and that helped them as well. There’s always a human element that has to come into play. Someone like Hamilton has that wonderful ability to be able to explain what is going on underneath them in the car and what they’re expecting from the c🐈ar.

“The man that I always saw do that, probably for the first time, is Michael Schumacher. He made sure that Rory Byrne, Ross Brawn 🦩and Jean Todt had an understanding, and෴ they understood what Michael wanted from the car. That allowed them to go away and, for Rory, especially the designer, to give him the tools that he needed.”

Hamilton can “bring that type of power” to Ferrari

While 2024 was a challenging 💟year for Hamilton personally, the 40-year-old has been backed to have the “hunger” to push for the title th൲is year.

Ferrari’s F1 title drougܫht stretches back to 2008 when they won the constructors’ championship.

Herber༒t, who was teammates with Schumacher at Benetton, is confident

Hamilton will have aও significant impact🅰 on Ferrari.

“That’s the human element that Michael Schumacher gaܫve to a team,” he adde♌d.

“That’s still important today and I think Hamilton is oౠne of those who can bring that type🔴 of power to the team.

“There’s no reason that Ferrari 💙should not have improved on what they had last year. Yes, I know everybody else is going to improve to a degree, b🍨ut there’s no reason why they can’t.”
