Hamilton Ferrari talks “kept secret” for a while says Gasly
Gasly, who has close relationships with Leclerc and Hamilton, wasn’t completely surprised by the news of the seven-time champion’s move to Ferrari. He had heard rumors of talks between Hamilton and Ferrari and understood this was a crucial moment in his career. Gasly believes the negotiations were kept secret for a long time but wishes Hamilton the best in this new challenge. While it may not be ideal for Carlos Sainz, Gasly understands why Ferrari made this decision and considers it an opportunity for both Hamilton and the team. Hamilton’s move opens up a Mercedes seat for 2025, but Gasly remains focused on performing well on the track and maximizing his chances, regardless of the driver market situation. His goal has always been to fight at the front, and joining Alpine has not changed his approach to Formula 1.
