Lewis Hamilton has described his decision to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari in 2025 as one of the hardest of his life, after the British driver made the most striking move in the Formula One driver market this century.
The seven-time world champion has agreed a multi-year deal with the Scuderia that means he will leave Mercedes at the end of this season. The 39-year-old, who has driven for Mercedes since 2013 and this year will enter his 12th season with the team with whom he has won six world championships, said it had been a hard choice but one he believed was correct.
