Ferrari will "raise their game" when Lewis Hamilton arrives in F1 2025, it has been predicted.
That is according to former F1 engineer Rob Smedley, who believes Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari could be transformative for the team’s fortunes.
“I’ve got a load of confidence for when Lewis gets there, I think he is going to be a catalyst for good things to happen,” Smedley told the Formula For Success podcast. “I think the team will now feel they’ll just be able to raise their game by another one or two per cent because they’ll feel that confidence, right?
Smedley, who was Felipe Massa’s long-time race engineer at Ferrari before following the Brazilian to Williams, reckons the right decision has been made for Hamilton and Peter ‘Bono’ Bonnington to part ways after 12 years.
