Jordan, the former F1 team owner, told the : “There’s only one place he could go🤪 to in my opinion and that is Ferrari.
“A guy wi♎th the talent that he is, and I think it might be♛ a [match made] in heaven.
“I think Ferrari need shaking up and I think Lewis Hamilto💝n needs shaking up, if they are go𝕴ing to continue.
“If L🌺ewis is going to continue then I think he needsꦓ a change. For his mindset, for his drive, for an initiative, for fun.
“Learning Italian, dealing and eating pasta with those guys, it’s a🌄 differe♈nt world.
“And having run a team we always saw how different Ferrari operates and I would love to seeও Lewis in t♍hat environment.
“I think he could really shake them up. I think he could bring a new sense of direction t𓆉o them, I think he would eradicate a lot of the l🎶ittle problems Ferrari have had.

“So therefore, I would just like to see befo🌊re he fully retဣires, I would like to see Lewis there for a year or two to see what would happen.
“Just think of the column inches. It’s a🦩n amazing story. It’s unlikely to happen but it’s my dream.🐟”
