Expert on Hamilton:
“Exactly the mistake you shouldn’t make”
New team, new color, new culture. For Lewis Hamilton, a fresh chapter in his Formula 1 career begins at Ferrari - which can be quite overwhelming in view of the many changes. However, Norbert Haug warns against underestimating the Briton.
"Communication at Ferrari is in Italian. But that's exactly the mistake you shouldn't make: Underestimating Hamilton on issues like this," the former Mercedes motorsport boss told Sky ahead of the season opener in Melbourne. "He will surprise many very quickly - his mechanics, his team - that he will speak Italian relatively perfectly in a relatively short space of time."
"Ferrari carries drivers on their hands"
Statements that his colleague Ralf Schumacher agrees with. "Lewis will quickly find his feet at Ferrari, I'm sure of that. Ferrari is a team that does everything for its drivers and really looks after them," says the six-time GP winner.
Hamilton has quickly become a crowd favorite with the Tifosi and the 40-year-old himself also feels comfortable in the new look. Will the collaboration be crowned with success? We'll find out on Sunday when the first points of the season are awarded at the Albert Park Circuit.
