After the announcement that Lewis Hamilton was going to Ferrari, many fans are waiting to see what will happen during his first season at the Scuderia. Other teams have also paid a lot of attention to the switch. One person in particular is Calum Nicholas, one of the more well-known people on the Red Bull Racing mechanics team.
Red Bull mechanic Nicholas looks forward to Hamilton at Ferrari
Speaking to talkSPORT, Nicholas weighed in on the very important switch of Hamilton to Ferrari and what that could mean for the Briton and teammate Charles Leclerc. "It's really exciting. I think if you're going to get the best out of Lewis, it's going to be when he's fired up like a new opportunity like this of Ferrari. I think we're all aware it clearly means a great deal to him."
He continues: "Ferrari, with its history and passion, is something that a lot of drivers want to have as a part of their careers. It'd be really exciting. I think he and Charles Leclerc will work really well together. From the limited interaction I have with Charles, he seemed like the kind of guy who's always going to want to learn from someone with sort of the experience of Lewis."
Nicholas is a familiar face in both the Red Bull Racing garage and around the Formula 1 media. He often frequents sports podcasts talking about everything from Max Verstappen's colourful language to the 2021 race season. He has written a book entitled 'Life in the Pitlane', which will be released this month.
