The 2024 Formula 1 season is racing toward an exhilarating conclusion, with only three Grands Prix left on the calendar. While this year’s championship battles remain unresolved, the buzz around the 2025 season is already building, particularly regarding one of the sport’s most significant driver moves: Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari.
Max Verstappen, driving for Red Bull, is poised to claim another Drivers’ Championship title, potentially securing it at the upcoming Las Vegas Grand Prix. However, the Constructors’ Championship remains a tight contest. McLaren leads the pack but is feeling the heat from a resurgent Ferrari. Red Bull, despite Verstappen’s dominance, has fallen behind in the constructors’ battle and is unlikely to reclaim their title this year.
Elsewhere, Mercedes finds itself in a peculiar position. The team is too far adrift to challenge for the top spots but remains comfortably ahead of the midfield. This season has been particularly bittersweet for Mercedes, as their car has fallen short of expectations, failing to deliver a proper send-off for Lewis Hamilton. After an illustrious 12 seasons with Mercedes, during which he claimed six Drivers’ Championship titles, Hamilton is set to depart at the end of 2024 to fulfill his dream of driving for Ferrari.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari marks a monumental shift in the F1 world. However, it also introduces a new challenge: competing alongside Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque driver has proven himself to be a formidable talent, consistently delivering strong performances even when the Ferrari car has been inconsistent. Leclerc’s commitment and ability to extract maximum performance from the car have solidified his position as one of the sport’s elite drivers.
According to reports from Autoracer.it, Ferrari is already strategizing how to manage its star-studded driver lineup for 2025. The key question revolves around whether Hamilton or Leclerc will be given the status of the number-one driver. Establishing clear team dynamics will be crucial for Ferrari as they aim to leverage the strengths of both drivers while minimizing potential conflicts.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has hinted that performance on the track will likely determine the hierarchy, with the team prioritizing the driver best positioned to secure championship points. Regardless of their approach, the Hamilton-Leclerc pairing promises to deliver captivating battles and compelling narratives as Ferrari aims to return to championship-winning form.
