Ferrari Puts Brakes on Lewis Hamilton Transfer Talk, Reaffirms LeclercâSainz Duo
Maranello, Italy (June 10, 2025) â Scuderia Ferrari has officially quashed swirling rumors linking sevenâtime World Champion Lewis Hamilton to a sensational midâseason switch, reaffirming its commitment to the existing driver pairing of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.
In a terse statement released Tuesday morning, Ferrariâs Team Principal Frederic Vasseur dismissed speculation that the British star might be drafted in to replace Sainzâor even Leclercâbefore the Belgian Grand Prix later this month. âOur lineup for the remainder of 2025 is fixed,â Vasseur declared. âCharles and Carlos form the backbone of our longâterm strategy, and there will be no changes.â
Rumors first took hold last week, after rival media outlets reported that Hamilton, concluding his tenure at Mercedes, was exploring âall viable optionsâ for the final races of the season. Speculation peaked when Hamilton was photographed in Maranelloâs factory cafeteria, sparking socialâmedia frenzy and fueling talk of a blockbuster contract swap. Ferrari swiftly moved to stem the tide.
âWe appreciate Lewisâs achievements and global appeal,â Vasseur continued, âbut our focus is on nurturing young talent. Charles and Carlos have demonstrated exceptional pace, unity, and dedication both on and off track. We trust in their ability to deliver championships for Scuderia Ferrari.â
Leclerc, currently third in the Driversâ Championship and a twoâtime race winner this season, echoed his teamâs confidence: âIâm proud to remain part of this Ferrari family. Carlos and I push each other every day in pursuit of perfection.â Sainz, who claimed podiums in Miami and Monaco, added: âThe chemistry here is special. Weâve built strong momentum, and changing things now would only set us back.â
Industry insiders say Ferrariâs decisive response underscores its desire to maintain stability amid a fiercely competitive field. With the French and Austrian rounds looming, the team is determined to leverage its upgraded power unit and aerodynamic package without the distraction of offâtrack dramaâleaving Hamiltonâs hypothetical Maranello debut firmly on the back burner.
