Hamilton secretly desires to drive Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton admitted that he is harboring aspirations to drive a Ferrari at some point in the future, but for the time being, is quite happy with the Mercedes.

Hamilton, who has been driving for McLaren since 2007, switched over to Mercedes for this season and is currently ranked fourth in the drivers’ championship. Having just recently initiated the first move in his Formula One profile, he said that while he sees himself racing with Mercedes for a long time, he nevertheless dreams of revving up the engine for Ferrari one day, as reported by F1 Racing.

“At the moment I can’t see myself anywhere else because I’m really happy where I am,” Hamilton said. “But what I can say is that throughout my racing career and through karting and everything Ferrari have always been one of the top teams and it’s always a desire for any driver to drive for them.”

“So anyone who gets that chance, no matter where you are or what car you drive, you look at a Ferrari and think: ‘That’s pretty cool.’ But like I said, at the moment I’m really happy where I am and I hope Mercedes keep me for even longer.”

When asked if he’d be willing to join Sebastian Vettel at Red Bull, Hamilton said that he would be happy to race against any driver. He also added that Sebastian has a great car and hence it would be an awesome experience if he got to race alongside the German.
