McLaren ace says he doesn't feel an emotional pull towards Maranello

F1 driver Lewis Hamilton has said he doesn't have any dreams of racing for Ferrari.

After signing for Ferrari for next season, Fernando Alonso declared it had always been his dream to race for the Italian marque.

Asked if he also felt an emotional tie to Ferrari's history, Hamilton replied: "I don't feel the same way.

"Everyone who grows up watching formula one chooses a car. Some liked the Jordan, the yellow car, some prefer the red car, others the silver one.

"I always just liked the silver car.

"I can still remember when Fernando came here and said that it was his dream to drive for us. His dream was to drive the silver car as well, but you can have more than one dream."

This man is a fantastic driver but he has no passion which is why he doesn't dream of Ferrari.

Its that 'If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand' thing

Stay with a clinical, lifeless team Lew

Hang on a minute. Surely McClaren was always the red-and-white car. You had to look close to see if it was a Ferrari or not.
