- The Ferrari road car from the British driver could be known as F44 and can see daylight.
- Last year, rumors surfaced online according to which Ferrari could revive the F40 for his Icona series.
- A new Ferrari F40 could follow in the footsteps of the Monza SP1 / SP2 and Daytona SP3.
The World Formula 1 world champion to seven times, Lewis Hamilton, has only been part of Ferrari for a few months and he has already had much more eyes than the F1 calendar. According to the British pilot, he wants to design a Ferrari en route based on the legendary F40. It could be called the F44.
Hamilton made the revelation while speaking with media members at the recent Australian Grand Prix. He did not say that if Ferrari himself approved his plans, but if he speaks publicly, it is almost certain that he had discussions with his new employer on the project.

“One of the things I really want to do is that I want to design a Ferrari,” he said. “I want to make an F44. Based of an F40, with the real quarter stick. This is what I will work on for the next few years. β
The driver’s ambitions go perfectly with rumors of the end of last year that Ferrari could resuscitate the F40. In November, Top Gear spoke with anonymous sources that claim that a modernized F40 could be added to the limited series of Icona models from the Italian brand. It could result from Monza SP1 and SP2, as well as Daytona SP3, and is inspired by the design of the last car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari.

Of course, the revival of such a car would inevitably cause a lot of controversy if it is not well done, because Ferrari must ensure that it is up to its legendary predecessor.
However, if Hamilton is personally involved in the project, it could be a recipe for success. The rich enthusiasts will certainly align to have a car designed and / or developed personally by one of the largest F1 drivers of all time. If this car is a modern reincarnation of the F40, with a manual transmission, expect Ferrari to sell all the allowance in a few seconds.
