Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>Lewis Hamilton said Saturday he is excited to fulfill a childhood dream when he moves to Ferrari in 2025.<\/p>\n

“I feel incredibly fortunate, after achieving things with Mercedes that I could only have dreamed of as a kid, that I now have the chance to fulfil another childhood dream. Driving in Ferrari red,” Hamilton wrote on X.<\/p>\n

The British driver said Mercedes has been a huge part of his life since he was 13, so the decision has been the hardest he have had to make.<\/p>\n

“Together we have won titles, broken records and become the most successful Driver-Team partnership in F1 history. And of course I cannot forget Niki who was a huge supporter and who I still miss everyday,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hamilton said he is excited for the opportunity to fulfill his dream of driving for Ferrari.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m excited to see what I can bring to this new opportunity and what we can do together,\u201d he said. “I must also share my huge appreciation to the whole of the Mercedes-Benz board and everyone at the company in Germany and around the world for supporting me over these 26 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton, 39, has raced for the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team since the 2013 season, winning six of his seven Formula titles.<\/p>\n

He last clinched the F1 world title in 2020.<\/p>\n

Ferrari confirmed Thursday that Lewis Hamilton would join the Italian racing team in 2025, on a multi-year contract.<\/p>\n
