I still won't believe it until it's officially confirmed.
I don't even want to believe it because it doesn't make any sense.

Ferrari doesn't need a 40-year-old Hamilton for way too much money.
Ferrari doesn't need the unrest that he causes by constantly complaining about the strategy, his tires, the other drivers and supposed unfair treatment.
Especially not if he regularly allows himself to be ironed out by a younger teammate or, in the worst case, scares him away from the team.
And for what? So that an old ex-champion can try again for another year or two in another team to become the sole record world champion?
That would be a complete lose-lose.

So I just keep hoping that this is all just nonsense, PR and contract poker.

Far and beyond Hamilton’s worst career choice…

Nothing to gain from going to Ferrari! Leclerc isn’t Russell! The guy is the fastest over a single lap at least (and I’m a Hamilton fan)! Also Mercedes is rumored to be ahead with its engine for 2026…

So probably just a money and fame move…

Expecting an all-in for 2025 season from the team.

I think Lewis saw something on the Ferrari dyno, just like he did before with Mercedes.
Win his 8th, retire as the GOAT, move on to modeling and climate activism.

Zero sense, this team couldn't even handle Leclerc and Sainz when the car was good in 2022 (Silverstone? Monaco?), how are they going to manage a 7 time world champion and a young fast driver? Shocking decision

New race team management. The team was quite competent last season towards the end across all operations

Charlie LEC bins it under any real championship pressure, or did you erase all those spins and crashes from your memory? Quick over one lap does not win you a race on Sunday. Lewis’ race craft and experience is still miles ahead of Leclerc.

As for the engine rumours. Exactly that. Just rumours.
