Ralf Schumacher fears there is a “danger” that Lewis Hamilton will not see out his Ferrari contract following his move from Mercedes for the F1 2025 season. And he reckons the seven-time World Champion will not hesitate to retire if he feels he is no longer capable of competing at the top.

The seven-time world champion’s confidence - particularly in qualifying - was knocked during his final year with the Silver Arrows. Hamilton out-qualified George Russell just five times in 24 Grands Prix, leading to a series of interviews throughout the season in which the 39-year-old lambasted his lack of speed on Saturdays.

Will Toto Wolff truly be rooting for Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari? Not a chance, in the opinion of Guenther Steiner.

Ralf Schumacher has questioned Lewis Hamilton ’s ability to work with his engineers to craft a racecar perfect to his driving style, insisting that his brother, Michael Schumacher, was supreme in this regard.

As Lewis Hamilton bids farewell to Mercedes - for now he hopes - he expressed his gratitude to the team and wishes for fresh success to come.

Lewis Hamilton says he “massively underestimated” how big a toll his decision to leave Mercedes for Ferrari would take on his relationships with the team where he won six of his seven Formula 1 championships.

Toto Wolff sent a heartfelt message to Lewis Hamilton after the Brit’s final race for Mercedes, saying ahead of his move to Ferrari: “If we can’t win, you should win.”

Lewis Hamilton is looking back on an “amazing journey” and the most successful partnership in Formula 1 history as he prepares to bid farewell to Mercedes this week and join Ferrari.
