Ferrari Confirms Lewis Hamilton Will Not Be Joining the Team

Ferrari has officially ended weeks of speculation linking Lewis Hamilton to a potential move to the Scuderia, confirming that the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion will not be driving for the Italian team.

Rumors had been swirling across the paddock and media outlets suggesting discussions between Hamilton and Ferrari regarding a future seat. However, in a statement released earlier today, the team made its position clear, putting the speculation to rest.

“We respect Lewis Hamilton immensely for his achievements and contributions to Formula 1,” said Ferrari Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur. “However, we want to make it absolutely clear that there are no plans to bring him to Ferrari at this time. Our focus remains on the continued development of our current drivers and long-term strategy.”

Hamilton, currently under contract with Mercedes through the end of the 2025 season, has also dismissed the transfer rumors, reaffirming his commitment to helping the Silver Arrows return to title-winning form. The 40-year-old veteran has been a cornerstone of Mercedes’ dominance in the past decade and continues to play a key leadership role within the team.

Ferrari continues its campaign this season with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz behind the wheel. Both drivers have delivered strong performances in recent races, helping the team stay competitive in both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships.

The announcement underscores Ferrari’s confidence in its current lineup and its long-term development plans, signaling stability in the face of swirling media narratives.

With the 2025 season in full swing, attention will now turn back to the on-track rivalry between Mercedes and Ferrari as both teams vie for dominance in what is shaping up to be another thrilling year in Formula 1.
