Lewis Hamilton will make a shock move from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, BBC Sport understands.

 

A number of sources say a deal for seven-time world champion Hamilton to join Charles Leclerc at Maranello from 2025 has been agreed.

 

Ferrari and Mercedes have refused to comment.

 

Mercedes F1 staff were told in a meeting with team principal Toto Wolff and technical director James Allison on Thursday afternoon.

 

The move could be announced officially as early as Thursday evening.

 

Hamilton, 39, signed a new two-year deal with Mercedes only last summer but he is set to leave after just one year. His contract is understood to have contained a break clause after one year, which Hamilton has chosen to exercise.

 

 

He must've really loved that Michael Mann/Adam Driver movie!

Top drivers switch teams on a pretty regular basis as part of the annual "silly season".  Hamilton, himself, did it before when he moved from McLaren to Mercedes -- and correctly moved from the top team that was about to go into decline, to one that was about to become dominant.
