Hamilton says Vettel would be an ‘amazing option’ for Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton considers old rival Sebastian Vettel would be “an amazing option” to replace him at Mercedes in 2025.

Hamilton stated a Vettel return would be an ideal scenario for Mercedes. “I would love for Seb to come back and I think it would be an amazing option for the team,” […]

Hamilton: Childhood Ferrari dream stems from Schumacher

Lewis Hamilton has stated his desire to drive for Ferrari dates back to his childhood, when he used to play Formula One video games as Michael Schumacher. Hamilton shocked the F1 world at the start of this month when it was revealed that he would leave his Mercedes contract a year early to drive for Ferrari in 2025. Ferrari has not won a drivers’ championship since Kimi Raikkonen defeated Hamilton to the title in 2007, and its last period of sustained success was with Schumacher between 2000 and 2004. In an Instagram post earlier this month, Hamilton said it was a “childhood dream” to […]

Sainz in no rush to decide next move after Ferrari sign Hamilton

Carlos Sainz will take his time to decide where he spends “the most important three or four years” of his Formula One career, having found out Ferrari will replace him with Lewis Hamilton in 2025. Ferrari revealed the blockbuster Hamilton signing at the start of February, shortly after signing Sainz’s teammate Charles Leclerc to a new contract. Sainz had gone into the off-season hoping to secure a similar deal, but now has to look elsewhere. The Spaniard is a candidate to substitute Hamilton at Mercedes, although he is seen as a front-runner to join the Sauber team in 2025, which would see […]

Surprised Bottas backs Hamilton to succeed at Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton’s former Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas has stated he expects the seven-time Formula One world champion to be a good fit for Ferrari when the British driver moves to the Italian team next year. The switch was announced last week after Hamilton, 39, exercised a break clause in his new contract and signed for the sport’s oldest, historically most successful and most glamorous team on a multiyear deal from the start of the 2025 season. “I never thought it would happen,” Bottas said at a livery launch in London for his Sauber-run Stake F1 team on Monday night. “I thought in my mind he would stay at Mercedes, but […]

Lewis Hamilton expects tough races ahead as Max Verstappen pulls away

Lewis Hamilton’s hopes of a record eighth Formula One championship took a hit at the U.S. Grand Prix on Sunday and the Mercedes driver was braced for more tough days ahead. An eighth triumph of the season for Red Bull’s Max Verstappen sent the Dutch driver 12 points clear of his British rival with five races left and the momentum shifting towards him. Hamilton had won five of the previous eight at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas and Sunday’s win was Verstappen’s first in North America. The next two rounds, at altitude in Mexico City and the Brazilian Grand Prix […]

Bottas shoots down speculation he could be replaced at Mercedes mid-season

Valtteri Bottas shot down media speculation on Thursday that he could be replaced as Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate midway through the campaign and said such talk was just part of being in Formula One. The Finn is out of contract at the end of the year and already 37 points behind championship leader Hamilton after three races. While seven times world champion Hamilton is fighting a close title battle with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who is eight points behind the Briton, Bottas is only fourth overall. He has two third places and retired in Imola after a collision with Mercedes-backed […]

Perez’s ‘surprising’ move to Red Bull the best outcome

Lewis Hamilton says Sergio Perez “truly deserved” a move to Red Bull, and relishes the challenge of fighting both he and Max Verstappen in Formula 1 next year. Perez was installed as Alex Albon’s substitute at Red Bull for next year on a one-year deal, with the Anglo-Thai driver handed a test and reserve role after a season and a half racing for the team. Hamilton likened the scenario to his past seasons at McLaren, in which team-mate Heikki Kovalainen was rarely able to support his battle with the Ferrari drivers. The value of a second strong car was seen […]

Hamilton wins Abu Dhabi FP to finish the season

Six-times world champion Lewis Hamilton wrapped up the Formula One season in style on Sunday by cruising unchallenged to a dominant triumph in Abu Dhabi in his 250th grand prix. The 34-year-old Mercedes driver led every lap from pole position to checkered flag, banging in a fastest lap for good measure to emphasize his supremacy under the Yas Marina floodlights. Red Bull’s Dutch driver Max Verstappen was runner-up, 16.7 seconds behind the Briton, to cement third place in the championship. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was third but in danger of disqualification for a fuel irregularity. Valtteri Bottas finished fourth for Mercedes after starting […]
