Ferrari Puts Brakes on Lewis Hamilton Transfer Talk, Reaffirms LeclercāSainz Duo
Maranello, Italy (June 10, 2025) ā Scuderia Ferrari has officially quashed swirling rumors linking sevenātime World Champion Lewis Hamilton to a sensational midāseason switch, reaffirming its commitment to the existing driver pairing of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr.
In a terse statement released Tuesday morning, Ferrariās Team Principal Frederic Vasseur dismissed speculation that the British star might be drafted in to replace Sainzāor even Leclercābefore the Belgian Grand Prix later this month. āOur lineup for the remainder of 2025 is fixed,ā Vasseur declared. āCharles and Carlos form the backbone of our longāterm strategy, and there will be no changes.ā
Rumors first took hold last week, after rival media outlets reported that Hamilton, concluding his tenure at Mercedes, was exploring āall viable optionsā for the final races of the season. Speculation peaked when Hamilton was photographed in Maranelloās factory cafeteria, sparking socialāmedia frenzy and fueling talk of a blockbuster contract swap. Ferrari swiftly moved to stem the tide.
āWe appreciate Lewisās achievements and global appeal,ā Vasseur continued, ābut 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.ā
Leclerc, currently third in the Driversā Championship and a twoātime race winner this season, echoed his teamās confidence: āIām proud to remain part of this Ferrari family. Carlos and I push each other every day in pursuit of perfection.ā Sainz, who claimed podiums in Miami and Monaco, added: āThe chemistry here is special. Weāve built strong momentum, and changing things now would only set us back.ā
Industry insiders say Ferrariās 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 offātrack dramaāleaving Hamiltonās hypothetical Maranello debut firmly on the back burner.
