Piero Ferrari gave an interview to the magazine Autosprint, touching on many topics, with Lewis Hamilton standing out as one of the main subjects.

It’s been almost ten days since Lewis Hamilton’s arrival in Maranello—an event of historical significance, from a sporting perspective, with the seven-time world champion having his first encounter with the entire Ferrari world. The following day, he had his first outing on track at Fiorano, followed by a week of testing in Barcelona to become more familiar with the Ferrari car.

A pursuit that Ferrari has had with Lewis Hamilton for many years, as Piero Ferrari himself explained. Here are his comments from an interview with Autosprint: “We’ve talked and joked many times. He has always expressed the desire to race for us, but his contractual commitments with Mercedes and our obligations with other drivers never allowed us to make it a reality. Then an opportunity arose, and the agreement was reached.”

The Ferrari vice president also added: “He is in excellent shape, both physically and mentally. I don’t see any issues related to his age. He accepted this challenge with great enthusiasm, which shows he believes in his abilities.”
