Possible shock transition in Formula 1: Claims Hamilton goes to Ferrari
Motorsport claim that Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton can drive for Ferrari from 2025.
– It is very surprising, but it comes from such reliable sources that it seems like this is going to happen, says Atle Gulbrandsen, Viaplay’s Formula 1 commentator, to NRK.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton is reportedly leaving Mercedes for Ferrari after the 2024 season. The website claims to know that the parties have come a long way in the negotiations and that everything can be in the box during this week.
BBC writes that the Mercedes team will have a meeting with team manager Toto Wolff on Thursday afternoon, where it will probably be announced that Hamilton is leaving.
– I have to admit that I had not envisioned that transition at all. I would use the word incomprehensible. I don’t understand why he chooses to do this, says Gulbrandsen.
Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz are driving for Italian Ferrari this season. Recently extended the former with Ferrari.
– Sainz is going to smoke, says Gulbrandsen.
Hamilton has driven for Mercedes since 2013, and last year signed a new two-year contract with the team.
