Lewis Hamilton will be “reborn” at Ferrari according to reigning Formula One world champion Max Verstappen. Seven-time world champion Hamilton has left Mercedes after 12 seasons to join the Italian giants for the 2025 Grand Prix campaign. Hamilton ended his two year-plus win drought with victory at the British GP in July. He still finished 214 points behind Verstappen in the drivers’ standings as his time at Mercedes — where he won six titles — ended. But Verstappen, aiming to equal Michael Schumacher’s record of five successive drivers’ championships, said a move to Ferrari, ever present throughout F1’s 75-year history, could inspire Hamilton.
