George Russell has sent a touching message to Lewis Hamilton following his move to Ferrari. Formula 1 superstar Hamilton stirred excitement as he stepped foot in Maranello, starting a new journey with the legendary Ferrari on Monday. The seven-time world champion caused a social media meltdown with a snapshot on Instagram as he stood proudly at Enzo Ferrari's old home.
The post was widely adored by fans and quickly raked in more than five million likes. Exuding charm in a chic suit among fanatic Tifosi, Hamilton is embarking on a new journey at the age of 40. "There are some days that you know you'll remember forever and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days," read the caption. "I've been lucky enough to have achieved things in my career I never thought possible, but part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red.
"I couldn't be happier to realise that dream today. Today we start a new era in the history of this iconic team, and I can't wait to see what story we will write together.". Amid thousands of cheering messages, one stood out from Russell - his ex-team-mate for three years and impending adversary. The camaraderie seen since Russell joined the Silver Arrows in 2022 still shines through in his heartfelt response.
