Ferrari chairman John Elkann has outlined the team’s goal to win an eighth F1 with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton - and his arrival at the famous It𒅌alian team isn’t to “enjoy his retirement”

In February, Hamilton’s shock move to Ferrari was announced, bringing an end to h♔is long a🌺ssociation with Mercedes.

It stunned the sporting world as it brought F1’s greatest driver and con♍structor together.

Ferrari are without an F1 drivers’ title since 2007 with ✱Kimi Ra෴ikkonen - and Hamilton will look to end their long wait for the greatest prize in motorsport.

For Elkann, the ♉goal is clear with Hamilton in the car.

He told : “Certain things happen very quickly. This was the moment when he and Ferrari found 𒊎each other.

“He wants to win the eighth title, Ferrari wants to win and with Lewis it is stronger. He doesn't come to Ferrari to enjoy his retirement and it's important to have motivated people aro🐎und him, who want to win.”

Hamilton will race at Ferrari into🗹 his 40s as the second-oldest driver on the grid after Fernando Alonso.

When asked what will a driver of Haওmilton’s age will bring, he added: “In Formula 1 there is now real competition, with 4 teams very close: Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, Me𒐪rcedes.

“It is important to always go to the maximum potential: those who have more experience have more regulꦆarity as Hamilton and even ๊Alonso himself demonstrate. And regularity counts.”

It’s not un⭕common for elite sportsman to perform at the top level into their🐓 late 30s and 40s.

In Tennis, No🎶vak D🐬jokovic remains at the peak of his powers, winning the gold medal at the Olympics in France.

Elkann referenced other gre꧂at sportspeople such as Roger Federer, Cirstiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in reference t꧂o Hamilton.

"The two of them, Federer, Biles, Ronaldo, Messi and Paltrinieri himself,” he concluded. “With dedication and sacrifices they are overcoജming the physical limits due to age.

“It is also true that we are in a historical phase in which we live longer and the caree📖rs of sportsmen and women are also extended."
