The 39-year-old British driver has the option of terminating his contract after one season.

Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari has been a rumor circulating in Formula 1 circles for many years.

This latest development seemed more credible, especially after the Mercedes team held an urgent meeting with Toto Wolff, technical director James Allison and other team members.

Hamilton’s opportunity to end his career at Ferrari is very interesting…

Hamilton has had a difficult few seasons since his last win, in December 2021. He dominated F1 from 2014 to 2020. Since then, Red Bull Racing has dominated the F1 narrative. Hamilton, who has 103 Grand Prix wins to his name, is as competitive as ever, however.

The driver has also been hungry since the controversial 2021 championship season, in which Verstappen won the title under contentious conditions. Many believe that Hamilton was robbed of his ultimate championship that year.
