Ferrari has officially announced that Lewis Hamilton will join their team in 2025, marking a significant move for the seven-time World Champion away from Mercedes.

Hamilton is scheduled to join forces with Charles Leclerc at the Scuderia in 2025, creating a powerful duo. The choice for Hamilton to depart from Mercedes stemmed from Ferrari’s successful persuasion.

Although Hamilton had previously signed a contract with Mercedes for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, providing continuity with the team where he achieved six championship wins, there was an exit clause for the second year of the deal.

Following a day of intense speculation, Mercedes confirmed on Thursday evening that Hamilton had opted to exercise the exit option, choosing to embark on a new journey.

The Announcement

Shortly after Mercedes made the announcement, Ferrari released a brief but impactful statement confirming the acquisition of Hamilton for more than one season.

Hamilton’s move to Ferrari reunites him with Fred Vasseur, the former team boss of the ART GP team, where Hamilton secured two junior titles on his path to Formula 1.

If Lewis Hamilton secures championship success with Ferrari, the completed transfer on the 2024 deadline day will mark a pivotal moment, signifying the beginning of the ultimate phase in what F1 recognizes as the most illustrious legacy.
