According to Lucas Di Grassi, Lewis Hamilton is past his prime, so if he were at Ferrari, he wouldn't have signed him.
In one area, Lewis Hamilton has suffered greatly in 2024, and from this perspective, it's no exaggeration to say the Briton is experiencing the lowest point of his career so far. This is reflected in his qualifying performance, where he took a severe beating from George Russell this year. According to Lucas di Grassi, who competed for Renault in F1 and later won the Formula E championship, all this shows that time has passed for Hamilton; he's expensive and slow, and someone else should have gotten that seat at Ferrari.
"If I were at Ferrari, I would never have signed Lewis Hamilton. He's expensive, he's already slow, he's absolutely past his prime. Instead, I would have given the opportunity to someone who could really reach the top with the Scuderia.
His already insufficient speed is compensated by his vast experience, good strategy, excellent teamwork, and the fact that he helps develop the team and the settings, and better understands his car.
But after a year like that, when Ferrari has shown it can evolve on its own, I really don't think they need that. In the short term, Hamilton is a good marketing strategy, but if they really want to win a world championship, he's no longer their man." - Di Grassi harshly criticized the seven-time world champion.
