Ferrari have lined up a sensational shock move for Mercedes man Lewis Hamilton to partner Charles Leclerc at the team from the 2025 Formula 1 season. An Italian media outlet are reporting a deal that has sent shockwaves through the F1 community.
Mercedes’ continued struggles apparently have made Lewis question his long term future with the Silver Arrows, despite the fact that last summer, it was confirmed that Hamilton had penned a two-year deal to remain at Mercedes with George Russell.
Meanwhile, Ferrari announced last week that Leclerc had signed a fresh “multi-year” contract renewal that would commit him to the Scuderia for the foreseeable future. However, a glaring omission was Carlos Sainz not getting a similar backing.
The leaked information revealed that Hamilton’s current deal covers the upcoming season with an option for next year, which left the door open for his exit.
Furthermore, it states that “some talks took place directly with the President of Ferrari, John Elkann” and “if all goes well we could see this sensational announcement materialise in the next few days”. Well this is that very announcement!
Huge news from the world of F1 this morning!
