Driving for Ferrari fulfills ‘childhood dream’ – Lewis Hamilton\u060c<\/p>\n

\n

Lewis Hamilton said his successful plan at Ferrari in 2025 would fulfill a “childhood dream” and compared it to the “leap of faith into the unknown” he took to join Mercedes in 2013.<\/p>\n

Hamilton surprised the motor racing world and his Mercedes team this week by signing a deal with Ferrari starting next season, although he is finishing the final year of his current contract with Mercedes.<\/p>\n

This will end a long-standing affiliation with the Mercedes-Benz brand, which included starting his F1 career with McLaren in 2007 and then continuing with the company's main team.<\/p>\n

Hamilton has won six of his seven career championships with Mercedes, contributing to the team's dominant run of constructors' titles between 2014 and 2021.<\/p>\n

In an article on X, Hamilton said: “It's been a crazy few days that have been filled with a whole range of emotions.”<\/p>\n

He will join a Ferrari team that has not produced a drivers' champion since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007 nor won the constructors' title since 2008.<\/p>\n

“I feel incredibly lucky, after achieving things with Mercedes that I could only dream of as a child, to now have the chance to realize another childhood dream. Driving in Ferrari red,” Hamilton said .<\/p>\n
