Age Defying Hamilton’s Ferrari Move at 40 in Top Form

Hamilton at 40: Faster, Fitter, and Ferrari Bound

17/10/2024

At 40, Lewis Hamilton joins Ferrari, confident his skills, speed, and fitness surpass even his younger competitors in Formula 1.

When Lewis Hamilton begins the next chapter of his Formula 1 career with Ferrari in 2025, the seven-time world champion will reach a milestone few drivers achieve: lining up on the grid at 40 years old.

But rather than seeing age as a limit, Hamilton believes he’s in the best shape of his life, both physically and mentally.

Reflecting on his journey, from an F1 rookie at 22 to a seasoned veteran of the sport, Hamilton feels time has only sharpened his skills.

“Honestly, right now, I feel healthier than ever. I’m in such great shape, both physically and mentally.”

“My reaction times are still the fastest, even compared to the younger guys. I believe I’m a better driver than I was at 22.”

Looking back at those early days, Hamilton acknowledges how much he’s grown.

“I was just young, energetic, and ruthless, but without finesse, without balance. I didn’t know how to be a team player, how to be a leader.”

“Being a great race driver isn’t just about being fast, it’s about being the most complete.”
