Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan has advised Ferrari to back out of the deal with Lewis Hamilton. Eddie urged the seven-time world champion to retire from the sport if he had no self-confidence left, adding that Lewis has a legacy in the sport, and should leave with some pride.
Hamilton agreed to a multi-year deal with Ferrari in February of this year, which turned out to be a historic and shocking driver transfer. He opted out of his extension deal with Mercedes to fulfill his childhood dream. The Italian team parted ways with Carlos Sainz to bring a 105-time race winner on board.
While the transfer was shocking, Mercedes' downfall post-2021 likely prompted the 39-year-old to seek a change in the final phase of his successful F1 career. Besides the childhood dream, the monetary upsides also played a huge role in Hamilton's swift decision-making.
