The risks in Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari F1 move
The news of Lewis Hamilton potentially moving to Ferrari in 2025 is the most significant driver market move in Formula 1 since Hamilton left McLaren for Mercedes in 2012. The decision to join Ferrari surpasses Sebastian Vettel’s moves in and out of the Scuderia in terms of impact. The only other transfer that comes close in terms of shock factor is Fernando Alonso’s move from Alpine to Aston Martin. Ferrari is the most iconic and successful team in F1, and Hamilton’s star power transcends the sport. Similar to his exit from McLaren, Hamilton is making this move ahead of a major regulation change in 2026. However, the risks involved are different this time, as he is leaving a successful team to join Ferrari.
