"I hope he does go to Ferrari because that would be a great story"

Martin Brundle is hoping that Lewis Hamilton will move to Ferrari in the future and believes that if he could win a championship at a third team then he would cement his legacy as one of the best drivers in the sport for the rest of time. 

"I hope he does go to Ferrari because that would be a great story," Brundle told Standard Sport. 

"To go and do a Michael Schumacher and win a championship with three different teams, that would be impressive."

The rumours of Hamilton making a team swap have died down but it is still possible that the six-time world champion could move to the Italian team. 

"I asked him this question the other day and he said ‘I’ve got red in my crash helmet, red’s one of my favourite colours’ but he’s got his feet under the table at Mercedes," Brundle said. 

"They're probably the best team, paying him a shedload of money and he can be a Mercedes ambassador for the rest of his days. You've got to think long and hard before you walk away from all of that really just to change the colour of your team.

"We'll see what Ferrari do this year but, do they look like they've got the might of the current Mercedes team? I don't know. We don't know where Mercedes are heading in the future so let's wait and see."

It will be interesting to see what Hamilton decides to do a whether he takes a gamble and goes to Ferrari in the future.
