Fisichella: Hamilton will feel with the team straight away

But speaking with BetIdeas, Fisichella – who won three races in his F1 career – says that the Brit will be made to feel right at home with Ferrari.

“It’s a little bit different to the English teams in terms of atmosphere, it’s a bit more like family. Straight away, he will feel into the team,” he said.

Giancarlo Fisichella raced with Ferrari in 2009

The Italian knows first hand what it is like to be a part of the team, having raced for them back in 2009 after Luca Badoer was dropped after failing to impress as Felipe Massa’s replacement, following his horrific crash in Hungary.

Fisichella was brought in after his sensational second-place finish at Spa with Force India – the team’s first in F1 – but he failed to score a point with Ferrari, with his highest finish coming at their home grand prix at Monza, finishing ninth.
