Eddie Jordan has backtracked on his opinion that Ferrari shouldn’t have signed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, conceding he's warm﷽ed to the idea that they've made the right decision after his first appearance at Maranello. 

Last year, Jordan suggested Ferrari should have kept 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc in 2025, rather than signing Hamitlon.

Ferrari nar♏rowly missed out on the 2024 F1 constructors’ title to McLaren, finishing just 14 points b🥃ehind.

Jordan slammed Ferrari for making the “su▨icidꦍal” decision to replace Sainz with Hamilton, claiming signing the seven-time world champion would impact the harmony within the team.

“We heard recently about 𝕴the crash, which is unfortunate because I also saw the photograph of the many, mꩲany, many thousands of the Tifosi that turned up to take photographs, wishing him well just on a little reconnaissance trip with the car,” Jordan said.

“So. you can imagine what it’s going to be like on Gr♉and Prix day. I think༒ he will be a huge draw.

“And it’ll be iconic, that photograph will be used for ﷺm🌠any, many, many years to come because of the way it is, and it depends, of course, [on] how he gets on, but at the same time I think the photograph will be used.

“I think he’s not just box office for Formul♔a 1, I think he’s box office everywhere, particularly in the Americas, in Asia, we know about Europe. I’m totally warm to the idea that Ferrari, for all sorts of reasons, particularly commercial, made the right decision.”

Jꦫordan expects that photograph of Hamilton will stand the ཧtest of time and be shown for many years.

“What I thought was unbelievably ey﷽e-catching, that photograph of Lewiꦬs Hamilton in that coat, it just depicts why I think Ferrari went for him,” Jordan added.

“He’s box office.🌊 Absolutely. And please check, I think you will find as close to 6 million likes about the way he looked on his appearance in that very stylish photograph.
