Lando Norris has expressed his support for Lewis Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season. The McLaren driver believes that Hamilton’s choice is a logical one and even admitted that he would likely make the same move if he were in a similar position.
Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari is one of the biggest stories in the world of Formula 1, as the seven-time world champion seeks to add an eighth title to his already legendary career. The British driver’s move was announced just before the start of the 2024 season, sending shockwaves through the sport. Many experts and fans have debated whether leaving Mercedes, a team that has helped him achieve unparalleled success, is the right choice.
Despite the mixed reactions from fans and pundits, Norris has a different perspective. Speaking on ITV’s This Morning, he shared his thoughts on Hamilton’s bold decision. The young McLaren driver described Hamilton’s move as an exciting and significant chapter in the veteran driver’s career.
“It’s a cool story for him to go to Ferrari after everything he’s achieved,” Norris said. “It’s a cool step. A lot of people said it’s probably not the right thing to do and so forth.”
However, Norris made it clear that he does not share the concerns that many others have expressed about Hamilton’s move. He sees the transition as a natural and exciting challenge for a driver of Hamilton’s caliber. Given Ferrari’s storied history and their determination to return to championship-winning form, Norris believes that Hamilton’s decision could prove to be a successful one.
With Ferrari, Hamilton will be aiming to make history by winning an unprecedented eighth world title. However, his path to glory won’t be easy, especially with strong competition from Norris and McLaren. McLaren, who clinched the 2024 Constructors’ Championship, have emerged as serious contenders in the battle for supremacy in F1.
If Hamilton is to achieve his goal, he will need to outperform not just his new Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc, but also Norris, Max Verstappen, and the entire McLaren and Red Bull teams. With the 2025 season shaping up to be an intense battle, fans are eagerly anticipating how Hamilton’s move will unfold and whether it will bring him the success he desires.
Despite differing opinions on Hamilton’s decision, Norris’ comments highlight the respect he has for his fellow British driver and his belief that moving to Ferrari could be the right move for Hamilton at this stage in his career.
