According to Lucas Di Grassi, Lewis Hamilton has already passed his peak, which is why I wouldn't sign him if I were Ferrari.
Lewis Hamilton has struggled in certain areas in 2024, and it's no exaggeration to say that the British driver is experiencing the lowest point of his career so far. This is his performance in qualifying, where he was badly beaten by George Russell this year. According to Lucas Di Grassi, who once drove for the Renault F1 team and later won the Formula E title, it all shows that time has passed on Hamilton, he is expensive and slow, and someone else should take that Ferrari seat.
"If I were Ferrari, I would never sign Lewis Hamilton. He's expensive, he's already slow, he's absolutely past his prime. Instead, I would give the opportunity to someone who could really reach the top with the Scuderia.
He compensates for his lack of pace with a lot of experience, good strategy, great teamwork, helping the team and improving the settings, understanding their car better.
"But after a year like this, when Ferrari has shown that they are capable of developing on their own, I don't think they need it. Hamilton is good marketing in the short term, but if they really want to win the world championship, he is no longer their man," said seven-time world champion di Grassi.
