“Lewis to Ferrari Confirmed?” The mere whisper of these words is enough to set the F1 world abuzz. Fans are giddy, rivals are alert, and the media is in an absolute frenzy. Is the unthinkable happening? Could Lewis Hamilton be eyeing the scarlet red of Ferrari after years of dominating in Mercedes silver? The answer is a resounding “Maybe!” This ain’t just another lap around the track. The catalyst for this recent surge isn’t a boardroom leak or insider tip, but rather a set of holiday pictures shared by Hamilton himself.
Lewis Hamilton’s future has been a hot topic as his contract with Mercedes is set to expire. German reports assert that he wouldn’t leave Mercedes for Ferrari even if they doubled his salary. Hamilton and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff have publicly stated that a new contract is close. However, with no official agreement and the contract expiration looming, rumors continue to swirl, fueling the imaginations of fans.
Adding to the mix is the historical context of Ferrari’s previous attempts to woo the British driver. Earlier this year, it was revealed that Ferrari President John Elkann had personally reached out to Hamilton with a contract offer to join Ferrari in 2024. The response from Hamilton was reportedly a polite “thanks, but no thanks.” As Hamilton remained steadfast in his loyalty to Mercedes despite being defied of a win for over 20 months now.
