F1 News: Lewis Hamilton To Ferrari -"Eighth Title Is A Real Possibility"

Johnny Herbert believes Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari could lead to more world titles.

The seven-time world champion's confirmed decision to join forces with the iconic Scuderia Ferrari team has been met with widespread anticipation. Amidst this whirlwind of excitement, former F1 driver Johnny Herbert has shared his insights, underlining the significance of Lewis Hamilton's transition not only for the driver himself but for Ferrari and the broader F1 community.

Herbert, known for his keen analysis and experience in the sport, believes that Hamilton's switch to Ferrari could potentially unlock further achievements for the British driver.

"An eighth title is a real possibility," Herbert stated. 

He further elaborated on the momentum such a victory could create, suggesting that:

 "If he can get the eighth, there’s a damn good chance of a ninth and a tenth because if they get it right, that momentum will be something Ferrari would be able to carry on in future seasons."

The acquisition of Hamilton is seen by Herbert as "the ultimate coup for Ferrari," a move that could elevate Hamilton's status above the legendary Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles. 

Herbert pointed out that Ferrari has shown potential in the past few years but has struggled with consistency. 

"We have seen signs in the last couple of years to be good enough to take it to Red Bull. But it has been the consistency that has been lacking," he observed.

"Having Lewis on board changes people’s mentality, and they are very aware they have got to be on top of everything," Herbert highlighted.

He continued:

"Having Lewis on board will galvanise the team. It will be a massive motivation for everyone there to have someone like Lewis who has been as successful as he has."

Moreover, the prospect of Hamilton competing in the scarlet red of Ferrari presents "the perfect driver setup that is exciting for everyone," signalling a thrilling era ahead for fans and competitors alike.
