Lewis Hamilton is onto something. A couple of weeks ago, the F1 ace revealed his desire to build a Ferrari supercar called the F44, after his race number, and fit it with a manual gearbox.
Ferrari hasn’t installed a clutch pedal and its iconic, open-gate manual shifter to any road car since 2012, when it switched fully to the paddle-operated, semi-automatic gearboxes that are much quicker but lack driver involvement.
