Four-time Formula 1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has weighed in on Lewis Hamilton’s highly anticipated move to Ferrari, highlighting what he believes will be the biggest challenge for the seven-time champion. As Hamilton prepares to leave Mercedes after more than a decade, Vettel, who spent six seasons with the Scuderia, understands better than most the unique difficulties that come with racing for the iconic Italian team.
According to Vettel, Hamilton’s biggest adjustment won’t just be adapting to a new car but also navigating Ferrari’s distinctive team culture and internal dynamics. “Ferrari operates differently from Mercedes or Red Bull,” Vettel explained. “The passion and intensity are incredible, but it also comes with immense pressure from the team, the fans, and the Italian media. That’s something Lewis will have to get used to quickly.”
Vettel’s experience at Ferrari saw him contend for championships but also face intense scrutiny during challenging seasons. He emphasized that while Hamilton has dealt with high expectations throughout his career, Ferrari presents a different level of external pressure.
Another key factor Vettel mentioned is Hamilton’s ability to build a strong working relationship with Ferrari’s engineers. Having spent years fine-tuning Mercedes machinery to suit his driving style, Hamilton will now need to adapt to a completely new development philosophy.
“Lewis has incredible talent and experience, but Ferrari demands full integration into their way of working. If he can manage that transition smoothly, he’ll have a real shot at success,” Vettel added.
As Hamilton prepares for his Ferrari debut in 2025, the spotlight will be on how quickly he can overcome these challenges and position himself as a title contender. With Ferrari eager to return to championship glory, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
