F1 LIVE: Lewis Hamilton gets 'very political' warning as Red Bull respond to Adrian Newey


Lewis Hamilton has been warned to expect a ‘very chaotic and political’ team when he joins Ferrari next year.

Jacques Villeneuve, whose late father Giles represented Ferrari in the 1970s and 1980s, said: “He’s going to the biggest team in history that has the biggest image.

“But also a very chaotic team, a very political team, a very difficult team where the whole of Italy loves you or hates you in five seconds.

“Lewis hasn’t been built. He’s actually won his championships; he’s won his races, he’s achieved it all.

“It’s very, very different than other drivers that have been put in Ferrari without championships, without wins, but where Ferrari has tried to build their image as champions.

“For example, Charles [Leclerc] has a built image but he has not shown it yet. That will be interesting to see the two fight it off.”
