Lewis Hamilton shock move join Ferrari 2025 replace Carlos Sainz analysed Martin Brundle

Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari for the 2025 F1 season is "Schumacher-esque", says Martin Brundle, presenting a wonderful opportunity for both.

The surprise move of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari for the 2025 F1 season has been described as "Schumacher-esque" by Martin Brundle. This unexpected move will see Hamilton leave Mercedes at the end of the upcoming season and replace Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, the most famous and iconic team in F1. Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, will team up with Charles Leclerc at Ferrari.

Brundle expressed his excitement about the opportunity for Hamilton to join Ferrari, a move that has been discussed for years. He believes that Hamilton has the potential to drive the team to start winning more races and be championship contenders, much like Michael Schumacher did when he joined Ferrari in 1996.

Hamilton, who has been with Mercedes since 2013, is statistically the most successful driver in F1 history. Despite not winning a race for over two years, Brundle believes that this move to Ferrari could energize and motivate Hamilton for this phase of his career.

Brundle is also excited about the prospect of Hamilton teaming up with Leclerc, who he considers to be one of the fastest drivers in F1. The unexpected announcement has also surprised Jenson Button, who described it as massive for the sport. He believes that the shift to Ferrari will be great for the sport and will bring a new level of excitement to Formula 1.

The timing of Hamilton's departure from Mercedes has also raised questions about the atmosphere within the team. Button believes that after 12 years at Mercedes, Hamilton may have wanted something different to spice up his career. He is looking forward to seeing how Hamilton performs in a Ferrari, despite the early announcement of the move.

Overall, the move of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari has created a buzz in the world of Formula 1, and fans are eagerly anticipating the 2025 season to see how Hamilton will fare in his new team. With 24 races scheduled for 2024, there will be plenty of opportunities to watch the action unfold.
