Read our privacy policy Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has reiterated his shock at the timing of Lewis Hamilton’s exit from the team for Ferrari next year – whilst also emphasising that every athlete has a “shelf life.” Seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton, who won six of his titles with Mercedes, will leave the Silver Arrows at the end of the season to join Ferrari in 2025. Hamilton, 39, announced the shock transfer prior to the start of the current season and while Wolff insists in a new book – Inside Mercedes F1: Life in the Fast Lane – that he was not surprised Hamilton opted for a new challenge, the timing was a shock of sorts and meant he couldn’t negotiate with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc or McLaren’s Lando Norris. Wolff, who has replaced Hamilton with Italian teenager Kimi Antonelli to partner George Russell next year, also explained his rationale for not giving Hamilton a long-term contract. Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes at the end of the season “There’s a reason why we only signed a one-plus-one-year contract,” Wolff added.
