In a surprising turn of events, Lewis Hamilton has announced his switch to Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season, sparking a wave of reactions from fans and drivers alike. One of the most notable reactions came from Max Verstappen, who shared his thoughts on Hamilton’s move and the perceived ‘awkward’ situation at Mercedes.
Verstappen, known for his rivalry with Hamilton on the track, expressed respect for Hamilton’s decision, stating, “It’s always interesting to see drivers make big moves like this. Lewis has had an incredible career, and I’m sure he has his reasons for choosing Ferrari. It will definitely shake things up on the grid.”
The Dutch driver also addressed the situation at Mercedes, which is now left without a seasoned driver like Hamilton. “It’s definitely an awkward situation for Mercedes,” Verstappen commented. “Losing a driver of Hamilton’s caliber is never easy, but they have a strong team, and I’m sure they’ll find a way to remain competitive.”
Verstappen’s remarks come at a time when the F1 landscape is undergoing significant changes, with several top drivers switching teams and new regulations set to be introduced in the coming seasons. The 2025 season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory, with Hamilton’s move to Ferrari adding another layer of intrigue to the mix.
As fans eagerly await the start of the 2025 season, speculation is rife about how Hamilton will perform in the iconic red of Ferrari and how Mercedes will fare without their star driver. One thing is for certain – with Verstappen and Hamilton now driving for rival teams, the battle for supremacy on the track is set to reach new heights.
