There is speculation that Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, may surprise everyone by moving from Mercedes to Ferrari, as reported by the BBC. According to the information available, Hamilton intends to continue driving for Mercedes this year before making the switch to the Italian team. The official announcement of this deal could happen as early as today.
Ferrari's interest lies in pairing Hamilton with Charles Leclerc for the 2025 season. Despite signing a new contract with Mercedes for 2024 and 2025 last summer, it appears that the 39-year-old Hamilton might only fulfill the first year of his contract. Currently, both Mercedes and Ferrari have refrained from commenting on this information. The head of Mercedes has called for a team meeting today at 16:00 Bulgarian time, during which it is anticipated that he will disclose the news.
Speculation about Hamilton's potential move to Ferrari has circulated for several years, though it has yet to materialize. Despite Ferrari's struggles in competing with leading teams in the past decade, it remains the most popular and successful team in Formula 1 history, holding records for both driver (16) and constructor (15) world titles. /BGNES
