Rumors of announcing an agreement with Ferrari

Thursday morning (1/2) and the motorsport world went up to… the bars. One tweet Written by journalist and commentator Will Buxton An alarm was raised in the Formula 1 community, only to be followed by a rumor that Ferrari were doing everything they could to make Lewis Hamilton theirs. From 2025!

“Is there an agreement between them?“His article asks formu1a.unoWhich went viral and caused a stir on social media.

“Fred Vasser has made it his goal to complete a contract extension for his drivers before the start of the season, but the start of discussions with them has been postponed. The agreement with Charles Leclerc has already been formalized, while in the case of Carlos Sainz there are delays. The reason is the crazy idea that the team had to take Lewis Hamilton to Maranello, knowing that his contract with Mercedes is for one year plus one. Ferrari management is determined to focus on Hamilton for a multi-championship in Maranello after Sebastian Vettel retiresThis was stated in the introduction to the report.

At the same time, a two-page leaflet from the newspaper Corriere della Sera entitled “Operation Hamilton” is circulating on Twitter, showing the Mercedes driver wearing a red shirt and around him a text claiming that there may be developments and announcements during the week that passes!

Hamilton, 39, remains the driver with the most championships (7), most wins (103), most pole positions (104) and most podiums (197) with Michael Schumacher in Formula 1 history.

Although there are many reports after the shameful end of the 2021 championship that “pushed” him into retirement, Hamilton does not seem ready to retire, he is still in excellent physical and mental condition and dreams of the eighth title that will put him in his place. At the top of the list of legends of this sport.

A courtship of Ferrari is not something that has come to light recently, with the Scuderia having targeted him several times in previous years. However, Hamilton has been vocal in his commitment to Mercedes, who have taken several steps backwards in 2022 and 2023, denying him the right to regain the lead – an achievement he considers unfairly lost in Abu Dhabi 2021.

The second scenario, although it seems like many people are currently trying to parse/explain/translate Will Buxton's tweet, mentions his retirement announcement, which as mentioned doesn't seem to have any real chance, judging by all the sayings and Hamilton's behavior.

During his Formula 1 career, which began in 2007 at Albert Park in Melbourne, where he competed in 332 races, Hamilton competed in only two teams. As for McLaren (2007-2012), with whom he won his first title in 2008 in Sao Paulo, and with Mercedes, which he moved to since 2013, he dominated and reached the level of legend.
