F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart shares his verdict on Lewis Hamilton's impending Ferrari switch.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton shocked the F1 world when he announced in February that he would be leaving Mercedes in order to make a blockbuster switch to Ferrari in 2025.
"I'm somewhat surprised by that, because of becoming 40 and going into a team that has very recently become very competitive,” Stewart told the RacingNews365 podcast.Formula 1"They've now got a more stable situation around them. And Lewis is seeing, when you go to the Ferrari factory, you're impressed.
Stewart added: “It’s more difficult for him to do it, I think, at 40 years than it would have been if he was 25 or 30 years. "It's unusual , but at some point he has to retire as a racing driver. He feels that time has not yet arrived, and I can understand that.”
