The seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is allegedly close to making an unexpected switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, which is creating a lot of buzz and intrigue in the racing community.
Hamilton’s Quick Choice: Ferrari versus Mercedes
In August 2024, the 39-year-old Hamilton signed a two-year contract extension with Mercedes. Remarkably, rumour has it that the contract had a break clause after the first year, which Hamilton has choose to activate.
Sources and Media Reports
Leading media sources, including BBC Sport and Sky Sports, have confirmed the report and hinted at a possible official confirmation on Thursday. Further information suggests that the transaction is essentially sealed, according to Formula 1 sources that ESPN cited.
Over the years, there have been sporadic reports about Lewis switching to Ferrari; but, this time, the rumors have more weight because many sources stress that the circumstances are different.
Fast-Track Negotiations
Lewis might replace Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz, whose contract negotiations were still in progress, considering the rapid pace of the negotiations. Given the latest deal with Mercedes, many have been caught off guard by Hamilton’s rumoured move.
- He would probably join Charles Leclerc at Ferrari, where he recently signed a contract extension, if the move happens to replace Carlos Sainz. The Formula 1 community is waiting for formal confirmation, so this unexpected twist is adding to the suspense.
