Sports journalist shares thoughts on Hamilton's move

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, award-winning Sports Reporter Blessing Malinganiza said Lewis Hamilton made the right decision. She noted that the F1 champion has been with Mercedes for over a decade, so it's about time for him to move.

"I think sometimes in life one needs to change. He has been with Mercedes for 11 years and won seven championships with them. Mercedes has been struggling with their cars these past few seasons. And Lewis is approaching 40 so I thought he saw his chance of clinching the 8th title by joining Ferrari."
