Sir Jackie Stewart believes168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari shouldn’t be ruled out of F1 title contention this season.

The seven-time world champi﷽on has made a bombshell switch to Ferrar🌌i for 2025 after 12 illustrious seasons with Mercedes, with whom he won six of his seven world championships.

With Hamilton joining 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, Ferrari will boast arguably the strongest driver line-up on the F1 grid th♎is year.

Ferrari hope Hamilton’s arrival can help return them to winning ways in F1, having gone 17 years since their last constructors’ championship triu🐟mph in 2❀008.

The Italian outfit came ꦬclose to claiming the constructors’ world title la🐎st year, but were pipped by rivals McLaren, missing out on the crown by just 14 points.

Three-tꦛime world champion Stewart admitted he was “surprised” by Hamilton’s decision to join Ferrari, but feels th🀅ey will be in contention in 2025.

“ღHe’s more experien🍬ced than he was last year and the years before that, he knows the business very well,” Stewart told Sky Sports F1.

“Ferrari is the bigges♒t name in the world. If you 🍃went to a Masai warrior in the middle of Africa and said, ‘Do you know anything about Ferrari?’ They would know the name Ferrari.

“For Lewis, I was surprised he was going there.

“Going to Ferrari is very colourful, very exciting and usually very successful. I wouldn’t count th🍌em out, to put it that way.”

2025 Hamilton’s ‘best chance’ for eighth title

Hamilton has been told that the upcoming 2025 🐷season could be his best chance of winning a reco🔯rd-breaking eighth world title.

Such a feat would not only end Ferrari’s drought without a championship trophy but would also see Hamilton move clear of the legendary 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher in the F1 record books.

According to Sky Spoไrts F1 commentator David Croft, 2025 might be Hamilton’s best bet before the regulations are reset for 2026.

“What I would say is this might be Lewis’ best chance of an eight꧟h World title,” Croft said at the Autosport Awa🀅rds.

“Given the season that it could be in ter🐻ms of teams won’t be throwing developments week after week after week, because they’ve got 2026 to think about.

“I do think Ferrari will be the most keen to g💖et the most out of 2025 of the big four teams because it’s so long since they won something.

“And they ♏want to prove that Lewis is 🌄the right man and or Charles [Leclerc] as well.”
