Sebastian Vettel highlights the “biggest shift” Lewis Hamilton must overcome at Ferrari
“It’s a ꦬdifferent culture. Obviously most of the teams are English, only two a🌄re Italian. That’s probably the biggest shift.”
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel believes the change in culture at Ferrari is the biggest challenge 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton will have to overcome to succeed.
Hamilton will race for Ferrari for the first time at this weekend’s season-opening F1 Australian Grand Prix.

Ferrari are expected to challenge for both titles i🌸n 2025 following a strong end to last year.

“It🐼’s a different culture. Obviously most of the teams are English, only two are Italian. That’s probably the biggest shift.”
“Special” moment for Hamilton
Vettel joined Ferrari in 2015, hoping to replicate his idol, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher, in bringing a world title to Ferrari.
The German pushed Hamilton hard in 2017, but poor reliability and an incident on the opening lap of the Singapore Grand Pr♕ix curtailed Vettel’s season.

Vettel says driving for Ferrari will be “special” for Hamilton, even if they didn’t have the same childhꦛood hero.
“I grew up watching Michael.🦹 He was my hero and he was most of the time in red, so to me it felt different bec💫ause of that.
“I’m not sure Lewis had the same dream, but I think it’s spec🤡ial for anyone who gets the chance to step into the red car.”
