One of the most shocking moves in motorsports history was Lewis Hamilton's decision to leave Mercedes and Ferrari. Nobody saw it coming, but one that will undoubtedly go down as one of the biggest trades ever made in Formula 1.
As the new season approaches, fans eagerly await the sight of Hamilton in Ferrari red. He's easily one of the most, if not the most, watched drivers on the grid right now. Every move he makes is under the microscope, and in a recent video, he nearly gave his fans a heart attack after narrowly avoiding an injury that could have ruled him out of the Australian Grand Prix.
Close call for Hamilton!
A clip surfaced on social media showing Hamilton slipping off a Ferrari F1 car before being assisted by a team member. Luckily, it was a minor fall, and he managed to land on his feet. He had nearly perched himself on the car's front tire, but disaster was avoided, preventing any injury that could have derailed his season before it even began.
The video captures the seven-time world champion standing on the nose of a Ferrari F1 car during a Unicredit event in Milan. With a massive crowd watching, Hamilton was fully engaged with the fans when he mistakenly stepped on the car's wheel, lost his balance, and took an unexpected tumble.
What could have been a nasty spill turned into a moment of pure Hamilton magic. With his signature composure, he bounced back as if nothing had happened-so much so that some even joked it looked like a planned move to exit the car with style.
High stakes, high expectations!
While it may seem like a small incident, it serves as a reminder of how any misstep can affect a driver's season. The Australian Grand Prix weekend kicks off on March 14, and as Hamilton embarks on his first season with Ferrari, the stakes have never been higher. Both he and the team are under immense pressure, and avoiding injuries is crucial to their success.
This isn't just another chapter in Hamilton's career-it's the fulfillment of a lifelong dream to race for Ferrari. With an eighth world title still in his sights, the F1 world is once again watching his every move. As the new season begins all eyes are on Lewis Hamilton.
