Gerhard Berger, the former Scuderia Ferrari classic, did not try to reduce the burden on his former team. Quite the opposite!
Berger claims that with the developments of recent years and the arrival of Lewis Hamilton, everything has come together this year for Ferrari to finally step out of its shadow. According to the Austrian, this will be THE year when it all happens:
"I would bet all my money on Ferrari this season. I couldn't say whether Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc will be world champion, or whether the drivers or the constructors will win - but they will win. They will win the championship! In terms of engine and chassis, they are extremely strong, they probably have one of the strongest racing pairs in history, if not the strongest. In addition, the motivation that came to Maranello in the form of Hamilton is unique. He needed new stimuli and I think he will get it perfectly at Ferrari.
He could occasionally taste the taste of victory at Mercedes, and now he finds himself in an environment where everyone is hungry for success. I am sure that he will give his best performance, but I am afraid that he will have a very hard time keeping up with Leclerc's speed. What can help him a lot is his friendship with Frederic Vasseur. I think Hamilton is not just an ordinary driver, but also a leader who will be able to motivate and drive the whole team to victory!” - said Gerhard Berger on why he considers the Italians to be the biggest favorites for 2025.
