After being robbed of the mystical 8th world championship in 2021, Hamilton is looking to make amends. However, Mercedes has failed to deliver a competitive car, leaving Hamilton in disarray. The seven-time world champion’s contract with Mercedes ends this year. Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan suggests that the Briton should make a move if he’s willing to win another World Championship. The only option that seems viable at the moment is Ferrari.
