Breaking: Hamilton to Join Ferrari in 2025 on a Multi-year deal -F1

Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes and join Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Hamilton’s current contract with Mercedes was due to expire at the end of 2025 but he will depart the team after this season and replace Carlos Sainz at Ferrari.

Hamilton activated a release clause in his Mercedes contract, and Ferrari confirmed on Thursday evening that the seven-time world champion is joining them on a “multi-year” deal.

Mercedes employees in Brackley were informed of the news earlier on Thursday afternoon before the official announcement from the team.

Charles Leclerc signed a new contract with Ferrari last week and will be Hamilton’s team-mate at Ferrari from next year.
