Hamilton’s shock F1 2025 Ferrari move done as Mercedes confirms exit
Lewis Hamilton has signed a multi-year contract with Ferrari starting in 2025, leaving Mercedes after a 12-year stay where he won seven world titles. Hamilton’s move to Ferrari means that Carlos Sainz, Ferrari’s current driver, will leave the team when his contract expires in 2024. Ferrari has confirmed Hamilton’s signing, while Sainz has acknowledged his departure and stated that news about his future will be announced later. This unexpected move by Hamilton leaves a vacant spot in Mercedes’ driver lineup for 2025, alongside George Russell, and potential alternatives could include Alex Albon and Esteban Ocon.
