Lewis Hamilton’s brother Nicolas describes how he reacted to the information that Lewis is moving to Ferrari in 2025.
Lewis Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes at the end of 2024, to go to Ferrari in 2025, seems to have caught everybody by surprise.
Lewis’ brother Nicolas is one of those people. During a live broadcast on his Instagram account, the Briton described his reaction to learning the news.
“Yes, it was so surprising,” Nicolas said.
“I was, if anyone doesn’t know I do public speaking right, so I was doing a public speech actually for Coke yesterday, Coca-Cola, and Lewis called me the night before and I was at dinner so I said: ‘Hey bro I’ll call you back when I can.’
“And then I called him later at night and then he didn’t pick up and he told me he was in bed, so I was like, ‘Ok no worries’, and then he said: ‘Are you around?’

“I was like, ‘Ok give me five minutes’, and then he said, ‘Are you in a place where you can talk? Can you talk like without anyone hearing?’, and I was like: ‘Yeah.’
“And then he said, ‘I’m going to Ferrari in 2025’, [and] I was like: ‘Woah, oh my god, are you joking? That’s crazy!” Hamilton concluded.
