Alain Prost doubts Hamilton’s switch: “Will Lewis find his motivation again at Ferrari”

Lewis Hamilton he is in his last season at Mercedes. Next year he will start a new journey with the Ferrari team, a childhood dream for every driver. Alain Prost understands that Hamilton is leaving for Ferrari, but has doubts about the choice of the seven-time world champion in terms of sport.

Hamilton scored his most successful in the service of the German manufacturer. He won six out of seven titles with Mercedes and spent most of his career with the German. While Hamilton would have preferred to end the season on a positive note, things have been going well for the Brit so far. After four races, the Englishman has scored just ten world championship points and is ninth in the championship.

Four times champion Alain Prost understands Ferrari’s appeal: “I can understand his decision,” he begins the conversation with Sports Illustrated. “Mercedes has not won a race for two years and they are struggling to get back to the front. At his age he wonders why he wouldn’t try something else. I don’t know if he had the chance to go to Red Bull, but not with Max anyway, then you can go to Ferrari, especially with the change of management 2026. Then you only have 2025, so you can get used to the car. After 2026 it will be 42 or 43 years old, it will be a different story.”

However it is Prost I am not sure about Hamilton’s change: “The question is whether this is a good move? If it will be a good choice? You can also ask Ferrari that question. It is good for the sport because everyone will be watching. Now you can have an idea of ​​how it will be, but he is old of a year and will he still find his motivation at Ferrari?”
