All major Formula 1 news outlets are reporting that Lewis Hamilton will be moving to Ferrari in 2025.
While this is yet to be officially confirmed, Sky Sports F1 reporter Craig Slater says he is sure it is a “done deal”.
“We have heard nothing officially, only ‘no comment’ from Ferrari and Mercedes,” Slater said.
“I’ve been in touch with both teams via official channels. But, multiple senior sources within F1 have explained to me that this is a done deal already. I’m absolutely confident this is going ahead.
“What I also know is Mercedes staff have been summoned to a meeting at Brackley at 2pm this afternoon, where I understand they’ll be informed that Hamilton will be leaving them at the end of this season and joining Ferrari for 2025.
