Lewis Hamilton has recently signed a contract with Ferrari for 2025.Hamiltons move to Ferrari in 2025 blew up on the internet as this change of team will hopefully increase his chances of winning.
Lewis Hamilton has a good motorsport reputation. He won 7 championships, won 103 races. He got on the podium 197 times whilst also starting off a race as pole position 104 times. The transfer is quite shocking as the teams AMG Petronas and Ferrari are rival teams nearly always next to each other on the scoreboard. Lewis Hamilton has been the face of Mercedes for a long time and their most famous and successful driver for over 10 years.
David Tremayne (F1 Journalist): “I’m one of the last people to mention the words ‘career suicide’ to Lewis Hamilton when he thinks of changing teams, as he is all too happy to remind those of us of who suggested a switch from McLaren to Mercedes for 2013 was, at the very least, perhaps unwise…”
James Hinchcliffe (IndyCar Race Winner and Analyst): “Ferrari has been the team that has challenged Red Bull on a more regular basis than any other for two seasons. That same period at Mercedes must have weakened Hamilton’s faith that the team could be the ones to give him a capable car. Plus, there is an emotional attachment to Ferrari that nearly every Grand Prix driver has. Assuming this is Hamilton’s last team in F1, bowing out of the sport as arguably the greatest ever, while wearing the red overalls of the storied Scuderia, is a poetic ending to an incredible career.”
