The beginning of this season for Lewis Hamilton has been disappointing, as he has failed to secure a podium finish in the first nine races. Despite his previous success at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where he has won the Spanish Grand Prix six times and achieved several pole positions, Hamilton has been facing difficulties this year. He has struggled in qualifying and during the races, resulting in a low number of points, only 55. When asked about his plans for the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton gave a vague response, indicating uncertainty about his performance.
Hamilton, who announced his departure from Mercedes to join Ferrari next year, remains hopeful for a turnaround in Barcelona. However, rumors linking him to a seat at Mercedes in 2025 have been proven false. Surveys suggest that another young driver, yet to be decided, is the top prospect for the Formula 1 transfer market. While there have been speculations about Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull, there is no evidence to support this claim. Reports stating that Kimi Antonelli will definitely drive for Mercedes in 2025 have also been debunked. The Verstappens have not yet made a final decision about leaving Red Bull.
As the season progresses, various reports and rumors emerge from team officials and the media. However, only a few of these reports can be considered reliable. The current conclusive news states that Kimi Antonelli is not confirmed as a driver for the Silver Arrows in 2025.
