168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton says he has no intention to push Ferrari to abandon their iconic scarlet red colours and switch to a black F1 livery when he joins the team.

The seven-time world champion is quitting Mercedes at the end of the year ahead of a blockbuster move to Ferrari in 2025, where he will partner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

Mercedes, who have traditionally raced in silver since 1954, famously switched to a black livery as part of a new anti-racism campꦡaign for the 2020 season.

They used the livery through 2020 and 2021 before returning to silver for the 2022 season. In 2023, Mercedes reverted to black in a bid to save weight, while the𒁏ir 2024 challenger features a mix of both colours.

Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked if he will request a black F1 livery f🌱rom Ferrari president John Elkann.

“I haven’t driven a black car for a while, so I probably won’t be pushing for that too early on, but no,” the 39-year-ℱ⛦old Briton responded.

Having influenced change duri🌠ng his time at Mercedes, Hami🧸lton confirmed he will continue his diversity push when he joins Ferrari.

“W♏e’ve definitely spoken about impact work and John and the team have a lot of philanthropy work that they do, so we’ll be working very closely with Mission 44 and with the im♌pact stuff that they’re doing,” he explained.

“I think within the sport, we have to continue to do more, but more outside we’ll be doing quite a bit toღgether, so that’s really 💖exciting.”

Earlier tꦬhis year, Hamilton revealed his diversity push was a key topic during his negotiations with Ferrari.

“Of course, you look at Ferrari, they 𓆉have a lot of work to do, so I've already made that a priority in speaking with John," Hamilton said in February. "And they're super excited to work on it also."

Hamilton launched Mission44 - a non-profit organisation which aims to improve diversity in F1 and the wider motorsport world - in 2021, invest🔴ing £20m of his own money into the project.
