Lewis Hamilton Wants To Help Create A Ferrari F40 Successor, Named After His Race Number

It goes without saying that Lewis Hamilton is extremely excited about driving for the Ferrari Formula One team this year.

His 2025 season might be off to a rocky start, with a 10th place finish in Australia and disqualification in China due to a technical breach, but its going to take a lot more than that to dampen his enthusiasm for the Prancing Horse.

The seven-time F1 world champion wants to help design a supercar that will serve as a spiritual successor to the legendary Ferrari F40.

'One of the things I really want to do is I want to design a Ferrari. I want to do an F44,' Hamilton announced in Australia recently, as reported by Motorsport.com . Of course, 44 is his race number.

'Baseline of an F40, with the actual stick shift manual gearbox. That's what I'm gonna work on for the next few years.'
