Gunther Steiner believes Lewis Hamilton has made the right decision to join Ferrari next season. The former Haas team boss has no doubt that Lewis will do his best to bring the Scuderia the drivers’ title, which the team last won in 2007 with Kimi Raikkonen.
Günter Steiner: “I have no doubt that Lewis will continue to have the desire to win and that a move to Ferrari next year will rejuvenate him. Lewis is under pressure. He can afford it because he has achieved a lot and has become a sporting icon.
However, he made the decision to move, even though he is a seven-time world champion and has nothing to prove. Hamilton will not abandon Ferrari – that is my opinion.
We all know what Ferrari is. They have been trying to win the title for so many years that I have lost count. There is no doubt that Lewis will face a difficult challenge, but he has a very good relationship with Frederic Vasseur, and that is one of the reasons why he moved.
When Lewis was in the youth series, he was always in Frederic’s team. They are good friends and that should help. They are going to try to win the title together and I think that is a good idea.
Will the Hamilton-Ferrari alliance work? We don’t know. Winning the title is a very difficult task, and Ferrari is always close, but not enough. It is clear that they believe that their time will come. “Lewis signed a multi-year contract to give himself enough time.”
