Lucas Di Grassi believes that Lewis Hamilton is already past his peak, so if I were Ferrari, I wouldn't have signed the seven-time world champion.
In one area, Lewis Hamilton has suffered immensely in 2024, from this point of view, it is no exaggeration to say that the Briton is experiencing the lowest point of his career so far. This is his performance in qualifying, in which he was beaten very badly by George Russell this year. Lucas di Grassi, who played for the Renault F1 team and later won the title in Formula E, believes that all this clearly shows that time has passed Hamilton, he is expensive and slow, someone else should have received that place at Ferrari.
"If I were Ferrari, I would never have signed Lewis Hamilton. He's expensive, he's already slow, he's absolutely past his prime. Instead, I would have given the opportunity to someone who could really reach the top with the Scuderia.
His already insufficient speed is compensated by his vast experience, good strategy, excellent teamwork, helping the team and improving the settings, better understanding their car.
"But after a year like this, when Ferrari has shown that they can progress on their 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 man anymore," di Grassi harshly criticized the seven-time world champion.
