Hamilton joins Ferrari

 

Okay. Be calm. 



I don't know how to react to this news. 


Some days before, some F1 news reporter were saying there'll be a massive news by the end of the week. People were speculating - Seb returns etc but i was not freaked out knowing Lewis will always be at Mercedes. 



Thursday morning, rumors surfaced that Lewis is going to Ferrari in 2025. (He still has contract with Mercedes in 2025). Nah, that's not gonna happen. Lewis said many many times about loyalty and i always imagined him retiring with his team. 


But, the rumors seemed so strong, not baseless, many authorized news reporting and they dont usually post rumors. Hmm. Reporters were at Brackley that morning and there was an emergency employees meeting with Toto and James Allison and Toto himself through a video call (meaning the meeting was urgently planned). 


Huh, 'twas nerve-wrecking and i personally dont wanna believe this. Please no, Lewis. 


At the same time, (still no official from both sides) - SkyNews F1 already broadcasted a special live discussing this and they won't do it if it is not true. 


Haha i supposed all of us were refreshing X to get news or any announcements - then at midnight (MY time), there came the official announcement from Mercedes AMG followed by Ferrari :0


Official from Mercedes account.


Official from Scuderia Ferrari account.
