Lewis Hamilton has publicly discussed his decision to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari on two occasions. He made an announcement on social media and also spoke about it during Mercedes’ car launch for 2024. Martin Brundle, a former F1 driver and current Sky Sports commentator, has responded to Hamilton’s remarks about his move to Ferrari. The seven-time world champion will be concluding his final season with the Silver Arrows and starting from 2025, he will be driving for Ferrari, replacing Carlos Sainz. Hamilton has had a long-standing relationship with Mercedes, which began when the German car manufacturer had a stake in his former team McLaren. In his social media announcement, the 39-year-old expressed that his decision to move was filled with various emotions and described it as the most difficult decision he has ever made. However, he also mentioned that joining Ferrari is a childhood dream come true and he will be partnering with Charles Leclerc. Brundle, speaking on the Sky Sports F1 podcast, provided a straightforward assessment of Hamilton’s comments, suggesting that the decision may not have been as challenging as Hamilton portrayed it to be. He stated that Hamilton is a winning machine and emphasized that the move to Ferrari will be a significant story in global sport in 2025. Brundle also pointed out that the teams often only share selected information about contract signings that suit them and may not mention certain details, such as Hamilton having an exit clause in his contract.
