According to Lucas Di Grassi, Lewis Hamilton is past his peak, which is why I wouldn't sign him if I were Ferrari.
In one area, Lewis Hamilton suffered immensely in 2024, and from this perspective, it is no exaggeration to say that the Briton is living the peak of his career so far. These are his performances in qualifying, where he received a very cruel blow from George Russell this year. According to Lucas Di Grassi, who raced for the Renault F1 team in the past and later won the Formula E series title, all this clearly shows that time has passed on Hamilton, he is expensive and slow, and someone else should have taken the position at Ferrari instead.
"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 already insufficient pace with his rich experience, good strategy, great teamwork, by helping the team and improving the setup, and by better understanding their car.
"After a year where Ferrari has proven that it can develop on its own, I just don't think they need it. In the short term, Hamilton is good marketing, but if they really want to win the world championship, he's not their guy anymore." - sharply assessed seven-time world champion Di Grassi.
