BREAKING: Lewis Hamilton’s F1 Future in Jeopardy? Ex-McLaren Engineer Headed to Ferrari!

In a shocking turn of events that could reshape the future of Formula 1, whispers are circulating that Lewis Hamilton may soon be working alongside a fresh face as his race engineer, with speculation pointing to the talented Cedric Michel-Grosjean. However, there’s a twist—this rising star is rumored to be heading to Ferrari in 2026, raising questions about Hamilton’s next move in the sport!

As the engines roar and the adrenaline pumps ahead of the pre-season testing in Barcelona, the airwaves are buzzing with the news that Hamilton’s current engineer, Riccardo Adami, will be stepping down after a rocky inaugural season. Ferrari has yet to officially confirm who will fill this pivotal role, but all eyes are on Grosjean, a former McLaren engineering ace whose credentials are as impressive as they are intriguing.

Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz and Craig Slater have brought this potential shake-up to light, revealing that while Cedric Michel-Grosjean’s position with Hamilton remains unconfirmed, insiders believe he is “Ferrari-bound.” Slater elaborated, “We’re talking about Cedric Michel-Grosjean. He was a performance engineer at McLaren, left the company in December, and is currently on gardening leave. I understand he is Ferrari-bound.”

But what does this mean for the seven-time world champion? The stakes couldn’t be higher. Grosjean, despite his impressive track record, has never served as a race engineer in F1. Slater pointedly remarked on the challenge, stating, “It’s quite a step, isn’t it, if he does get that job, to have never been a race engineer? For your first job to be with the seven-time world champion under a new ruleset at Ferrari, but let’s watch this space.”

As the countdown to the Bahrain test begins, Ferrari is banking on having Hamilton’s new engineer in place by then, with current race engineer Bryan Bozzi taking the reins in Barcelona. Fans are left on edge, wondering who will ultimately guide Hamilton’s pursuit of glory in the upcoming season.

So, who is Cedric Michel-Grosjean? This engineering prodigy boasts nearly a decade of experience at McLaren, having started as a racing technology intern and progressed through the ranks. From volunteer strategist to data scientist, he climbed the ladder to become a senior trackside performance engineer in 2023. His expertise was pivotal in McLaren’s resurgence in Formula 1, particularly in optimizing Oscar Piastri’s car performance during his 2025 title chase. Grosjean’s influence led to a staggering seven victories and sixteen podiums, contributing to McLaren’s second consecutive constructors’ championship.

As the Formula 1 world holds its breath, the prospect of Hamilton teaming up with Grosjean—if the rumors hold true—could either elevate Hamilton to new heights or plunge him into uncharted waters. Stay tuned as we keep you updated on this developing story, because in the high-octane world of Formula 1, anything can happen!
