In a stunning revelation, seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has opened up about the emotional rollercoaster behind his upcoming move to Ferrari in 2025. The British driver, who has spent over a decade with Mercedes, described the decision as one of the most challenging yet exhilarating moments of his career.

Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Hamilton admitted that leaving Mercedes—a team with which he secured six of his world titles—was not a decision taken lightly. “Mercedes has been my home, my family. The memories, the victories, the struggles—it’s all deeply personal,” he said. “But when the opportunity with Ferrari came, I felt something inside me say, ‘This is the next chapter.’”

The emotional weight of the move was evident as Hamilton shared behind-the-scenes discussions with his Mercedes team and long-time boss Toto Wolff. “Toto and I have an incredible relationship. It was tough to tell him, but he understood. He knew this was something I had to do for myself,” he revealed.

Ferrari, the most iconic name in motorsport, has long been a dream destination for many drivers. Hamilton confessed that the thought of wearing the famous red suit and driving for the Scuderia was both surreal and thrilling. “There’s a legacy at Ferrari that’s unmatched. To be part of that history, to contribute to their success—it’s an honor.”

Hamilton also touched on the overwhelming fan reaction, with both excitement and heartbreak from Mercedes loyalists. “I’ve read the messages, and I understand the emotions. But I promise to give my all to Mercedes until my final lap with them.”

As the 2024 season unfolds, Hamilton remains laser-focused on delivering strong performances for Mercedes before his much-anticipated switch. While the transition marks the end of an era, it also ignites a new and exciting challenge for one of F1’s greatest drivers.
