In a seismic shift that’s set the Formula 1 world abuzz, Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has officially been confirmed—marking a dramatic new chapter in the seven-time world champion’s storied career. The announcement, though met with excitement by some fans and pundits, has already stirred significant backlash across the motorsport community.
Hamilton, who has spent over a decade with Mercedes and won six of his world titles there, will be making the high-profile switch to Ferrari for the 2025 season. Many are calling it a “gamble,” considering Ferrari’s inconsistent performance and long title drought. However, Hamilton appears energized by the challenge, calling it an “exciting new chapter” and a chance to bring his legacy to the Scuderia’s historic red.
“This is about legacy, about passion, about driving the team back to the top,” Hamilton said in an official statement. “I’ve always admired Ferrari from afar—and now it’s time to make history together.”
While some fans have celebrated the move as a bold, legacy-defining decision, critics argue it could tarnish Hamilton’s career if results fail to follow. Social media erupted shortly after the announcement, with skeptics questioning the timing and Ferrari’s ability to deliver a championship-winning car.
Former drivers and analysts are split as well. Some praise Hamilton’s ambition, comparing the switch to legendary moves in F1 history—like Schumacher’s to Ferrari in the ’90s—while others call it a misstep driven by branding rather than performance.
Meanwhile, Mercedes will now face the monumental task of replacing its star driver, with speculation already swirling around potential successors, including young talents and seasoned names.
As Hamilton gears up for his final season with Mercedes, all eyes will be on the 2024 campaign—one that may serve as a dramatic final act before the British icon dons red.
