'Only Forward-thinking Wins': Wolff On Hamilton’s Move To Ferrari And Mercedes’ Future
Andrea Kimi Antonelli: Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff, who had sensed the possibility of Lewis Hamilton’s exit, has revealed the driver’s decision brought mixed emotions as he reflected on both their successful partnership and the realities of an evolving F1 landscape.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton announced his departure from Mercedes to join Ferrari from the 2025 season. Hamilton, 39, had initially appeared committed to finishing his career with Mercedes, repeatedly expressing his dedication to the team. However, in 2023, he signed a “one plus one year” contract, a structure that contained an escape clause allowing him the freedom to leave if he desired.
In February 2024, Hamilton activated the clause, opting for a multi-year contract with Ferrari beginning in 2025. The decision sent shockwaves through the paddock, with Wolff admitting that while the move was “on his radar,” he didn’t fully expect it to come to fruition.
