The famous image: Hamilton wanted a black Ferrari, Ferrari said no

La famosa imagen: Hamilton quería un Ferrari negro, Ferrari dijo que no

Tóth Krisztián Márk |

Many like Lewis Hamilton, and many don't. The latter segment of the crowd's blood pressure rises just by looking at the Briton, due to his "moves" mentioned in the title.

However, Hamilton enjoys pushing the boundaries, and he did so in relation to the traditions of Scuderia Ferrari. In the end, the photos were taken, and the seven-time world champion made a very good impression with his unusually elegant appearance. It even surprised his former boss and former hitmaker, as Toto Wolff simply described the combination of Hamilton and the F40 as iconic.

Meanwhile, several Italian media outlets report that Hamilton approached Scuderia Ferrari with the express request that the F40 he envisioned be black (by the way, who would come up with something like that for a blood-red team?). With this, the driver wanted to express his sensitivity toward social justice and his fight against discrimination. Of course, Ferrari could technically have complied with this request, but for purely theoretical reasons, they immediately declined. According to an insider, they also wanted to send the message: "You can't be bigger than Ferrari!"
