Lewis Hamilton’s future at Ferrari has been clarified with the confirmation of a multi-year contract ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari at the beginning of 2025 marked the end of his successful 12-season stint at Mercedes, with the opportunity to work under the leadership of Fred Vasseur being a key factor in his decision.
Hamilton and Vasseur have a longstanding working relationship dating back to their time together in GP2 in 2006, which played a significant role in Hamilton’s move to Ferrari.
Despite a slow start to the current F1 season, Hamilton is already focusing on improving his performance with Ferrari for the 2026 season, under the guidance of Vasseur.
Ferrari’s decision to extend Vasseur’s contract ensures that Hamilton will have continuity in leadership as they aim to challenge for the championship in the upcoming seasons.
With Vasseur’s renewed commitment, Hamilton can now look ahead with more certainty and optimism towards achieving success with Ferrari in the competitive world of Formula 1.
