Eddie Jordan believes that Lewis Hamilton would "eradicate" many of Ferrari's problems if he moved to the team. Despite a difficult start to the 2023 season for Mercedes, Hamilton has previously downplayed the idea that he might be tempted to move elsewhere . However, that has not prevented speculation over whether the Briton may consider changing teams should the Silver Arrows' struggles continue, with ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle having questioned whether a switch to Ferrari might be feasible . Former team boss Jordan has now weighed in and suggested that Hamilton joining the Scuderia might be an ideal partnership for both sides.
Jordan: Ferrari and Hamilton both need shaking up
"There's only one place he could go to in my opinion and that is Ferrari," Jordan told Express Sport . " A guy with the talent that he is, and I think it might be a [match made] in heaven. I think Ferrari need shaking up and I think Lewis Hamilton needs shaking up, if they are going to continue. "If Lewis is going to continue then I think he needs a change. For his mindset, for his drive, for an initiative, for fun. Learning Italian, dealing and eating pasta with those guys, it's a different world. "And having run a team we always saw how different Ferrari operates and I would love to see Lewis in that environment."
Hamilton and Ferrari would be 'amazing story', says Jordan
With Ferrari's title challenge in 2022 slipping away after a series of reliability issues, driver mistakes and strategy mishaps, Jordan feels that Hamilton could be a positive influence in addressing their problems. "I think he could really shake them up," Jordan explained. "I think he could bring a new sense of direction to them, I think he would eradicate a lot of the little problems Ferrari have had. "So therefore, I would just like to see before he fully retires, I would like to see Lewis there for a year or two to see what would happen. "Just think of the column inches. It's an amazing story. It's unlikely to happen but it's my dream."
