The risks in Hamilton’s Ferrari F1 move
Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025 is the biggest driver market move in Formula 1 since his decision to leave McLaren for Mercedes in 2012. This move surpasses Sebastian Vettel’s moves in and out of Scuderia Ferrari. The shock factor is also comparable to Fernando Alonso’s transfer from Alpine to Aston Martin. It can be argued that this move is the biggest in motorsport history. Ferrari is the most successful and iconic team in Formula 1, and Hamilton is a transcendent figure in the sport. The risks involved in this move are different from his previous switch, but if Mercedes becomes a strong competitor to Red Bull, there is a risk of isolation at his current team. Ultimately, Hamilton’s goal of winning an eighth world title may be affected by this move.
