In early February, the seven times world champion announced his decision to move to Ferrari in 2025 activating an exit clause in his contract with Mercedes. Despite ongoing debates about the competitive differences between the two teams, he remains resolute in his choice emphasizing that his happiness with the decision is paramount. He dismisses external opinions and reaffirms his confidence in his decision-making process reminiscent of his move to Mercedes in 2013.

Regarding Mercedes’ current struggles, he maintains that he doesn’t seek validation for his decision and remains focused on his own convictions. Hamilton views his move to Ferrari as a long-term commitment potentially extending his Formula 1 career into his mid-40s, akin to Fernando Alonso. He expresses surprise at the prospect of racing into his 40s but feels youthful and enthusiastic about the journey ahead.
