Lewis Hamilton WILL Move to Ferrari in Bombshell Switch, Less Than a Year After He Denied £40MIL Talks

He Had an 'Escape Clause' in Mercedes Contract Allowing Him to Cut £100MIL Deal Short

MailOnline 1 FEB 2024

Lewis Hamilton is on the brink of fulfilling one of the greatest dreams of his life – by driving for Ferrari...

Hamilton has found himself trailing Max Verstappens' Red Bull in the past two seasons

Hamiltons' Mercedes has struggled to keep pace with Red Bull in recent years

An 'escape clause' inserted into British racers' contract allows a 2025 exit...Hamilton 39, turned down a £40million offer to join Ferrari just a year ago

Mail Sport understands the seven-time world champion has secured a seat at the Scuderia, even for as early as the 2025 season.

This confirms Mail Sport's world exclusive of last May that Ferrari were in talks with Hamilton and prepared to offer him a £40million kings' ransom to join.

He is currently on £50m-a-year at Mercedes, where he has won six of his seven world championships and previously expressed his desire to remain for the rest of his time in the sport.

'They were pushing like mad,' a source in Italy said today of those conversations in late spring.

That story was bare-face denied by all parties, including Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur.

But now the Italian press has stated that Hamilton, 39, is wanted to replace Spaniard Carlos Sainz, whose contract negotiations ground to a standstill in December. We now know why.

Hamilton is contracted to Mercedes until the end of 2025, a bind that requires some unpicking but not one that is not insuperable because of an 'escape clause'.

There is no question at all that driving for Ferrari has been an obsession nagging in Hamiltons' head all his career.

There have been flirtations between the two parties for a while, and he has driven red road cars off the forecourt of their Beverly Hills dealership, as well as visited the factory in Maranello.

Mail Sport understands that John Elkann, the company president, has led the initiative to bring in Hamilton for what, if the move materialises, would likely be the last chapter of a glittering career.

Elkann is attracted by Hamiltons' superstar status as the only Formula One driver with truly transcendent fame across the world.

Nothing would cap his successes than winning an eight title at Ferrari – a milestone that eluded even the great Michael Schumacher, the teams' most decorated champion.
