Lewis Hamilton Transitions to Ferrari: 'Hammer Time' No More?

Lewis Hamilton, transitioning from Mercedes to Ferrari, faces a language shift, relinquishing the famous 'Hammer Time' call. Collaborating with engineer Riccardo Adami, Hamilton adapts to new terminology and expressions, even learning Italian. Mario Andretti humorously suggests a new nickname for the seven-time champion.

Lewis Hamilton is navigating a new linguistic landscape as he adapts to life at Ferrari, signaling the end of the iconic 'Hammer Time' directive.

The seven-time world champion, known for his remarkable 105 race wins, has joined forces with engineer Riccardo Adami, moving on from Peter Bonnington and Mercedes' familiar calls. As he gears up for the season in Bahrain, Hamilton is immersing himself in new racing terms and expressions, adjusting to Ferrari's methodologies.
