Lewis Hamilton Ferrari contract update emerges
The relationship between Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari seems to be heading towards a divorce rather than a ‘happily ever after’ scenario at the moment. It may take a long time before any separation occurs. When Hamilton joined Ferrari in early 2024, fans hoped he would bring an end to their title drought, but the ‘Hamilton Project’ has been a disaster in its first year, with no wins, podiums, and a significant gap in the standings. Hamilton has called his Italian experience a nightmare, and tensions between him and the team seem to be escalating. Reports suggest Hamilton might be on a three-year deal with Ferrari, potentially lasting until the end of 2027, while his teammate Leclerc is contracted through 2029. The situation in Maranello is messy, and with Ferrari’s chairman criticizing the drivers publicly, the drama is far from over.
