Lewis Hamilton set to join rivals Ferrari in shocking events in Formula One
Lewis Hamilton has been with the Mercedes team since 2013.
Startling new rumours regarding Lewis Hamilton being connected to the Italian powerhouses have surfaced once more as Ferrari continues to drag its feet on Carlos Sainz’s contract deal.
When the seven-time world champion’s contract with Mercedes was still pending in 2023, he was first connected to Ferrari. This time, Hamilton is associated with the Prancing Horse for the third time since Charles Leclerc was recently granted an extension whereas Sainz has not.
Lewis Hamilton will be offered a place by the Maranello-based team in 2025, according to information obtained by the Italian newspaper formula.uno. The article also states that Carlos Sainz’s contract discussions have slowed down, with this being one of the primary causes.
Lewis Hamilton has the opportunity to leave Mercedes after 2024, even if his current deal with the club runs until 2025. It is said that Ferrari will intervene at that point and steal one of the more skilled and experienced Formula One drivers.
Furthermore, there have been rumours that Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari president John Elkann discussed the transfer. Carlos Sainz’s contract status is receiving a lot of attention as the 2024 Formula One season approaches. It remains to be seen if Sainz will be able to sign a contract with Ferrari or whether the team would go for Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton’s old conversations about Ferrari rumours
Lewis Hamilton refuted reports in October 2023 that he had signed a deal with Ferrari. After his contract renewal with Mercedes was postponed, speculation was running wild.
The British player asserted, nonetheless, that he never discussed moving with the team. He said he never felt prepared to come to Italy, despite the fact he knew a lot of individuals on the squad.
He said, “Never. Okay, I’m sure we’ve had some trivial conversations. I know a lot of good people there, but I never felt ready to move to Italy.”
Six of the seven world titles that the British driver achieved have been with Mercedes from 2013. From 2014 to 2021, he also contributed to the team’s eight constructors’ championship victories. Hamilton and the Silver Arrows have always had a close connection, so it will be fascinating to watch how things work out.
