While often hailed as superhumans for their incredible feats behind the wheel, F1 drivers too wish for superpowers in real life.

He seemed confused at first; however, Hamilton admitted to having a specific ability in mind but intriguingly declined to share it.

Although Hamilton did not seem to reveal the secret superpower that he wants, he did recently experience what he described as a “magical” moment during his home race. This special victory added a fitting chapter to his Mercedes legacy before his highly anticipated team switch next season.
Hamilton is set to move to Ferrari in 2025. Prior to the start of the current season, he expressed his wish to have a strong final season with Mercedes. Even though the team’s performance in the early races was appalling, they seemed to pick up speed and eventually developed a competitive car.
Amidst this, Hamilton managed to secure a triumphant return to the top step of the podium at this year’s British Grand Prix. This marked his first victory since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Talking about the win, he told Esquire that the moment could not be “more magical.”
“And finally, I had that day when I was able to excel, and we excelled as a team, and it just kind of shuts that all down. And it helps you rebuild again. So it was really great to be able to do it at home, in my home country, with my family around. The last race in Mercedes at Silverstone. It couldn’t have been more magical,” Hamilton said.
Ferrari junior driver reveals positive side of Lewis Hamilton joining the Italian squad
Formula 2 driver Oliver Bearman recently expressed enthusiasm about Lewis Hamilton’s upcoming move to Ferrari in 2025. The young driver believes the seven-time world champion’s vast experience will be a significant asset to the team and could positively impact their performance in the coming seasons. Furthermore, he appreciated Lewis Hamilton’s “winning mentality.”
“I think he’ll bring a lot of experience to the team. He’s won seven world championships – that’s something that not many people can say,” Bearman told Sky Sports F1.”He’ll bring a good mentality to the team, a winning mentality, but of course his talent is undeniable. He’s one of the best to have ever done it,” he added.
Bearman is a promising youngster in the sport. He drove for Ferrari during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix earlier this season, replacing Carlos Sainz. He managed to finish in points despite it being his first F1 race. 2025 will mark the start of his first full season with Haas.
