Maranello will be Lewis Hamilton’s new residence starting from the 2025 season. The seven-time world champion will be seen wearing the iconic red of Ferrari in the next F1 season. This change has had a significant impact on the sport and, amidst all the changes, Hamilton took a lighthearted moment to talk about his love for Italian cuisine.
Italy is renowned worldwide for its exceptional culinary offerings. Italians have a deep passion for their food and, in that regard, Lewis Hamilton was asked about his guilty pleasure during a fan encounter at the Bahrain GP. He was accompanied by his Mercedes teammate, George, and their conversation revolved around their love for pizza.
George: Pizza is my favorite guilty pleasure […] He’ll have to say the same next year too.
Lewis Hamilton: I’m going to eat the most incredible pizzas next year. I’ll have to be careful with my weight because I simply love Italian food.
Their interaction clearly indicates that both Russell and Hamilton share a passion for pizza. Furthermore, Hamilton humorously mentions that he will have to watch his weight in Maranello next year due to the irresistible Italian cuisine, especially the mouthwatering pizzas.
While Lewis Hamilton recently spoke about the delicious pizzas in Italy, this experience awaits him in the future. As for the immediate future, he is preparing for the Bahrain Grand Prix, with 57 laps. Unfortunately, Hamilton had a disappointing qualifying session, resulting in a ninth place on the starting grid. He couldn’t keep up with his teammate’s performance and finds himself on the fifth row.

Tomorrow is a new day, let’s give our best 👊
On the other hand, Russell will start the race in third position. However, considering the unpredictable nature of the sport, anything can happen. During the race, various scenarios may arise that could help Hamilton improve his position and seek a higher result. The first race of the 2024 F1 season at the Bahrain International Circuit promises to be an exciting and thrilling event.
