Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton says his switch to Ferrari programmed for 2025 will add a brand new chapter to his sparkling career, but insisted he hopes to leave Mercedes on a high. 

The Briton, 39, has been with Mercedes since 2013, but recently activated a break clause to seal a move to the Italian team in 2025. “An opportunity came up in the New Year and I decided to take it,” Hamilton said. “This chapter is still not finished and I am still 100 percent focused on delivering for this team,” he insisted on Friday.
