Hamilton F1 lineup SLAMMED by racing star in controversial claim
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 champion, has faced criticism over a proposed driver lineup he suggested for a potential new F1 team.
The 39-year-old is also making headlines due to his impending move to Ferrari for the 2025 season, marking the end of his 12-year stint with Mercedes.
Hamilton, who secured six of his seven titles with the Silver Arrows, will bid farewell to the team after this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Reports suggest a farewell tour has been planned to honor his legacy.
This season has been challenging for Hamilton, with consistent struggles against his younger teammate, George Russell.
Despite some standout performances during the summer, he has often trailed Russell in both qualifying and races.
However, as he prepares for a fresh chapter with Ferrari, fans are hopeful Hamilton can still contend for victories and perhaps achieve a record-breaking eighth championship.
Known for championing diversity and nurturing young talent in motorsport, Hamilton recently discussed his vision for an F1 team.
Speaking via Motorsport, Hamilton expressed interest in building a diverse lineup, highlighting young talents like karting champion Kenzo Craigie and Mercedes junior driver Doriane Pin.
“Kenzo and Doriane, she’s a badass. If I was to make a team… maybe one day I will, it’ll be diverse from the beginning,” he stated.
While many praised Hamilton’s inclusive vision, Alpine academy driver and F3 racer Sophia Floersch voiced her disapproval.
In response to Hamilton’s comments, Floersch challenged the champion, saying, “Put your money where your mouth is!”
The exchange sparked debate among fans and industry insiders, with some applauding Hamilton’s commitment to diversity and others questioning the feasibility of his proposal.
As Hamilton closes one chapter of his illustrious career and prepares for another with Ferrari, his comments have once again underscored his influence both on and off the track.
