Brundle looks forward to Hamilton-Ferrari: 'The biggest names in F1 ever'
- Ludo van Denderen
Martin Brundle cannot wait to see Lewis Hamilton race in Ferrari. The Sky Sports analyst calls it "a gift" that is going to give viewers a lot of joy.
Like Italian Ferrari fans, the British are also looking forward to Hamilton's new adventure. Martin Brundle, outspoken fan of the seven-time world champion tells Sky News that Hamilton is worth every penny.
"Two of the biggest names in the 75-year history of Formula 1, some might say the biggest names. Lewis Hamilton dressed all in the scarlet of the prancing horse, an absolutely extraordinary story. It's a story, a gift, that will keep giving for us," said the Briton.
Brundle believes Hamilton will shine at his new employer. The former driver believes his compatriot is "not over the hill" and "full of energy" at the Italian team.
Hamilton awaits battle with Leclerc
The switch from Mercedes to Ferrari is obviously motivated by the desire to become world champion for the eighth time. Brundle believes Hamilton can succeed in this, even if the strong Charles Leclerc has to be dealt with first.
But the Monegasque has been a Ferrari man for years, knows exactly how everything goes at the team and that could give him an edge over Hamilton. "Lewis will have to face that, and the fact Leclerc is incredibly fast. But I have no doubt that if Ferrari have a race-winning car or a championship-winning car, then Lewis can win races and even the championship."
