Ferrari chairman John Elkann has outlined the team’s goal to win an eighth F1 with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton - and his arrival at the famous Italian team isn’t to “enjoy his retiremen🌠t”

In February, Hamilton’s shock move🐻 to Ferrari was announced, bringing an end to his long association with Mercedes.

It stunned the sporting world as it brought F1’s greatest dr♒iver and constructor together.

Ferrari are without an F1 dr�꧃�ivers’ title since 2007 with Kimi Raikkonen - and Hamilton will look to end their long wait for the greatest prize in motorsport.

For Elkann, the goal is c🙈lear with Hamilton in th🐎e car.

He told : “Certain things happen very quickly. This was the moment when he and ꦕFerrari found each o🧔ther.

“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 retireme♕nt and it's important to have motivated people around him, who want to win.”

Ham🦹ilton will race at Ferrari into his 40s as the seꦫcond-oldest driver on the grid after Fernando Alonso.

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

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

It’s not uncommon for eliওte sportsman to perform at the top level into their late 30s and 40s.

In Tennis, Nova�🌟�k Djokovic remains at the peak of his powers, winning the gold medal at the Olympics in France.

Elk🍨ann referenced other great sportspeople such as Roger Federer, ꦗCirstiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in reference to Hamilton.

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

“It꧟ is also true that we are in a hist🌄orical phase in which we live longer and the careers of sportsmen and women are also extended."
