Ferrari Moves to Sign Top Aston Martin Star as Lewis Hamilton’s Re…read more
Ferrari is reportedly in advanced talks to secure a top Aston Martin driver as questions continue to mount over Lewis Hamilton’s long-term role with the team.
Sources within the paddock suggest Ferrari is preparing for a potential lineup shift in 2026, with Hamilton yet to confirm whether he will extend his current deal beyond next season. The Italian team is believed to be targeting Fernando Alonso’s teammate — widely speculated to be Lance Stroll — as a possible successor or partner to Charles Leclerc.
“Hamilton’s presence is massive, but Ferrari needs a plan in place if he decides not to continue,” said a senior F1 insider. “They’re keeping options open and Aston Martin’s current lineup is drawing interest.”
Hamilton, who joined Ferrari with much fanfare in 2024, has shown flashes of brilliance but has yet to deliver a race win. As the 2026 regulation changes loom, Ferrari is eager to build a stable and competitive lineup that can challenge for titles under the new era.
The Aston Martin driver in question is seen as both a reliable performer and a valuable commercial asset — someone who could slot in quickly and support Ferrari’s long-term vision.
While no official statement has been made, sources say negotiations are progressing quietly behind the scenes.
