Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton recently discussed his upcoming move from Mercedes, his team for over a decade, to Ferrari in 2025. His comments came after a notable victory at the British Grand Prix, marking his first win in nearly three years, bolstered by recent car upgrades from Mercedes. However, the triumph was overshadowed by his impending transition to Ferrari, which he described as a venture into unfamiliar territory.
Hamilton, who began his Formula 1 career with McLaren in 2007 before joining Mercedes in 2013, has established a groundbreaking partnership with the latter, achieving numerous victories that solidified his status as a legend in the sport. His new three-year contract with Ferrari not only promises a substantial personal financial boost but also supports his charitable endeavor, Mission 44, and includes an ambassadorial role with the prestigious Italian brand. This new phase in his career presents both lucrative opportunities and significant challenges.
Reflecting on his feelings about changing teams, Hamilton expressed a mix of anticipation and apprehension about entering uncharted waters. He remarked, as quoted by Planet F1:
“It’s going to be new. It’s also daunting because it’s new territory, a new experience, and it will be challenging. But, you know, I relish a challenge.”
