Ferrari Eyes Aston Martin Star as Uncertainty Grows Around Hamilton’s Future

Ferrari is reportedly in advanced discussions to sign a top Aston Martin driver amid growing speculation about Lewis Hamilton’s long-term future with the team.

Insiders close to the Scuderia suggest that preparations are underway for a possible lineup change ahead of the 2026 season, as Hamilton has yet to confirm whether he will extend his contract beyond 2025. The focus appears to be on Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll, teammate to veteran Fernando Alonso, as a potential replacement or partner to Charles Leclerc.

“Hamilton’s presence is massive, but Ferrari needs a plan in place if he decides not to continue,” a senior F1 insider revealed. “They’re keeping options open, and Aston Martin’s current lineup is drawing interest.”

Hamilton, who joined Ferrari in a blockbuster move for the 2024 season, has delivered strong performances but is still chasing his first win in red. With sweeping regulation changes set for 2026, Ferrari is eager to lock in a driver lineup that aligns with its ambitions to reclaim championship glory.

The Aston Martin driver in question is regarded as a steady performer with commercial appeal — a combination Ferrari views as key to building a cohesive and competitive team for the future.

Though no official announcement has been made, sources confirm that behind-the-scenes negotiations are well underway, signaling that Ferrari is already shaping its next strategic move in the evolving F1 driver market.
