Lewis Hamilton’s Future Plans Revealed Amid Emotional Mercedes Departure
The curtain has closed on Lewis Hamilton’s illustrious 12-year tenure with Mercedes, marking the end of an era in Formula 1. As the seven-time world champion embarks on a new adventure, speculation surrounding his next move has reached a fever pitch.
Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes comes on the heels of a challenging 2024 season, which saw him frequently out-qualified by teammate George Russell and struggling with the performance of his Mercedes machinery. Despite this, Hamilton remains driven to secure an historic eighth championship title.
In a surprising twist, a Mercedes insider has revealed that Hamilton’s departure from the team could have taken a different path. Stephen Lord, a key member of Hamilton’s support team at Mercedes, recently shared his insights on the Beyond the Grid podcast. When asked about Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Lord expressed little surprise, suggesting that the 39-year-old had always harbored a desire to drive for the Italian team.
Interestingly, Lord also disclosed that he had previously anticipated Hamilton would return to McLaren, the team that nurtured his early career and provided him with his Formula 1 debut in 2007. Hamilton’s history with McLaren is well-documented, and his first world championship title in 2008 remains the team’s most recent drivers’ championship success.
As Hamilton begins his new chapter with Ferrari, fans and pundits alike will be watching with bated breath to see how he fares in his quest for an eighth championship title. With his Mercedes departure now official, the stage is set for an exciting new era in Formula 1.
