Emotional Hamilton tribute revealed after historic exit
Lewis Hamilton’s remarkable journey with Mercedes in Formula 1 has come to an end as the seven-time world champion transitions to Ferrari for the 2025 season.
After 12 years with the Silver Arrows, Hamilton leaves behind a legacy filled with record-breaking achievements and emotional milestones.
Since his last championship victory in 2020, Hamilton has struggled to match his previous dominance, often appearing frustrated during recent campaigns.
However, he remains determined to return to the top with Ferrari, who showed promising form in the latter half of 2024.
Now 39 years old, Hamilton is eager to end his title drought and compete for glory once again.
Hamilton’s final race for Mercedes, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, showcased his enduring talent.
Starting 16th on the grid, he delivered an impressive performance to finish fourth, offering a glimpse of his continued competitiveness as he prepares for a new chapter with Ferrari.
The conclusion of Hamilton’s Mercedes tenure was an emotional moment for the team, particularly for team principal Toto Wolff.
Speaking in a heartfelt tribute shared on the team’s social media, Wolff praised Hamilton’s extraordinary contributions to Formula 1 and Mercedes.
He described Hamilton as the greatest driver of all time, expressing pride in being part of his journey.
Wolff reflected on the influence of the late Niki Lauda, a former Mercedes co-owner, who would have celebrated Hamilton’s achievements.
Wolff’s words encapsulated the sentiment shared by the entire team: “We all need to pinch ourselves that we were part of your journey with Mercedes.”
As Hamilton moves to Ferrari, his legacy with the Silver Arrows remains unparalleled, cementing his status as one of the sport’s greatest icons.
