Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton is embarking on an exciting new project: designing a Ferrari supercar inspired by the legendary Ferrari F40. The British racing icon, now a Ferrari driver, shared his vision for the “F44” in an interview with Motorsport.com, revealing plans to create a modern version of the iconic F40, complete with a manual transmission.
Hamilton’s admiration for the F40 is well-known, and he’s determined to bring this classic supercar back into the spotlight. Describing his ambitious idea, Hamilton said, “One of the things I really want to do is design a Ferrari. I want to do an F44, with the baseline of an F40, and with a proper stick shift. That’s what I’m going to work on for the next few years.”
The F40 has long been considered a masterpiece of automotive engineering and is Hamilton’s favorite supercar. He’s no stranger to customizing cars, having previously expressed interest in creating a special edition of the Mercedes-AMG One. Now, as a Ferrari driver, Hamilton aims to contribute to Ferrari’s legacy by bringing a fresh perspective to one of the brand’s greatest models.
The idea of a Ferrari supercar designed by a seven-time F1 champion is sure to excite automotive enthusiasts worldwide. Whether or not Hamilton’s F44 becomes a reality, his passion for performance and innovation is clear.
