In a surprising development, Lewis Hamilton is set to make a shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season as reported by BBC Sport. Sources indicate that a deal for the seven-time world champion to join Charles Leclerc at Ferrari has been agreed upon although neither team has officially commented.
Despite signing a new two years contract with Mercedes just last summer, Hamilton is reportedly leaving after only one year. The potential move is said to have happened swiftly with Ferrari securing Hamilton’s signature after considering a contract extension for Carlos Sainz. The decision could have significant repercussions for both Mercedes and Ferrari shaking up the F1 driver market.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari marks a major shift in his career as he had previously expressed a strong commitment to Mercedes. The decision is seen as a significant vote of confidence in Ferrari’s progress and a blow to Mercedes where Hamilton has been a key figure in their recent dominance.
The move follows Hamilton’s disappointment in the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where he believes he was denied an eighth world title due to rule misinterpretations. The consequences of this unexpected move and its alignment with Hamilton’s desire for justice remain to be seen.
