When the name Mercedes comes to mind, you can’t forget Lewis Hamilton. The 7-times world champion has been with the Silver Arrows since 2013 and has recently signed a contract that sees part of the Brackley-based squad till 2023.

However, in all his time in Formula One, Hamilton finds it hard to believe that never drove for the famous Italian team, Ferrari. While, on the other hand, he chooses to be loyal to Mercedes.

Lewis Hamilton always dreamed of driving a Ferrari

Mercedes and Hamilton seem inseparable, but the Brit is quite surprised with himself never being behind the wheel of the red car. Although, he does have a few Ferraris back home, he is intrigued by driving Ferrari’s F1 car.

Speaking to Sky Italia as quoted by Motorsport.total.com, Hamilton said, “It is definitely crazy to think that I never drove for Ferrari. So I can drive a Ferrari, but not this one Ferrari.”

“I will probably never know exactly why that was the case. Our positions never agreed. It just wasn’t meant to be,” Hamilton explained. (Translated from German via Google)
