Carlos Sainz Sr has praised the way his son and Ferrari parted ways after four years together as Lewis Hamilton arrived at Maranello. With Carlos Sainz angling for a contract extension at Ferrari, his time in red came to an end as a result of the Scuderia jumping at the chance to sign Lewis Hamilton.

A Ferrari Formula 1 star has been caught in an awkward mixup following Lewis Hamilton 's first outing with his new team. The 40-year-old completed his move to the Scuderia during the off-season after his departure from Mercedes, with whom he won six of his seven world titles over a historic 12-year spell.

It was this kind of wonder that Hamilton, a seven-time world champion who has seen and won it all in Formula One, sought when he decided to move to Ferrari. For all the success he enjoyed with Mercedes, nothing could match the history and the magic of F1 ’s most iconic team.
