Lewis Hamilton has been exercising his profession with Mercedes since 2013. In a surprising twist during the Formula 1 off-season, the seven-time world champion announced his departure from Mercedes and his move to Ferrari in 2025. This decision left many wondering why the 39-year-old driver would leave the team that has supported him since he was 13 years old.
In a recent interview, Lewis Hamilton was asked about his sudden departure from Mercedes. He clarified that his decision was not due to relationship issues. Instead, Hamilton expressed his desire to win and compete for first place on the podium. Over the years, Hamilton has won numerous world championships with Mercedes, making their driver-team partnership the most successful in history. It is expected that they will end their collaboration on a high note this season.
Since the penultimate stage of the 2021 season in Saudi Arabia, Lewis Hamilton has not won a Grand Prix. This drop in performance coincided with Mercedes going from being the best team on the grid to the fourth fastest in 2024. After three years of struggle, Hamilton decided he had had enough. He appreciated the initial experience of fighting and growing with his team, but now he is determined to return to the top in Formula 1. It is widely believed that Hamilton is eager to win his eighth world championship before retiring from his illustrious career.
