Hamilton is spending his final F1 season with Mercedes before linking up with the iconic Italian manufacture🍸r next year.

The move unites F1’s most successful drive🌺r with its most successful team.

Elkann iꩲs widely credited with puttin💧g the deal together after personally contacting Hamilton.

"I hav𒐪e always said o💝ver the years how much Lewis is a great driver, how much he has done for F1,” Elkann told .

“He will join Ferrari and this is a sign of how much he believeไs he can do great things with us.”

Remarkably O🌠liver Bearman becam💃e the latest British driver to represent Ferrari in an F1 grand prix in Saudi Arabia when he was drafted in to replace the unwell Carlos Sainz.

After the teenager brilliantly dr♒ove to a points finish, Hamilton applauded then embraced him.

"If one thinks he can stay ahead of Hamilton and Lando Norris on his debut, I think Oliver will remember this for his whole life,” Elkann sai🅺d.

“The hug that Lewis wanted to give him shows wha꧅t a great champion he is on and off the track."

Despite tꩲhe hype around Bearman, Ferrari have not yet been able to significantly worry the dominant Red Bulls.

"If we look at where we wer🦩e a year ago, we started better,” Elkann admitted.

“The important thing is to improve and progress.

“This is the dynam🌄ic that exists in Ferrari and it shouldꩲ be praised and supported.

“There is a desire to ensure that we bring ꦇthe Ferrari to do the best possible and this was palpable today. This, I mean, from everyone."

Charles Leclerc completed the podium in Saudi Arabia behind Max Versta🦄ppen and Sergio Perez.

"It was a great race,” Elkann said.

“We fin🦩ished on the podium, Leclerc did the fastest lap and Bearman, the youngest F𝓀errari driver in F1 in our history who immediately scored points.

“And then Sainz who came here❀ after being operated on. This shows 𝓡great team spirit.

“I am very proud and I thank everyone who worked to obtain this i🌳mportant result."

Next year, Ferrari will unite Hamilton with Leclerc in aꦓn eye-catching duo.

After their first year toget𓆏her, the new F1 regulations wi𝓰ll come into place.

Do these fac൲t👍ors mean Ferrari can end their title-less streak that dates back to 2007?
