After winning six F1 Drivers’ Championship titles during a highly-successful 12 years with Mercedes, Hamilton shocked fans last year when he announced he would be joining Ferrari at the start of the 2025 season. See the details below 
BREAKING: Lewis Hamilton Set to Announce Shock F1 Retirement After Nightmare Ferrari Start
In a stunning twist that has rocked the world of Formula 1, seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton is reportedly preparing to announce his unexpected retirement from the sport. The news comes just months after Hamilton made headlines with his bold move from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season — a switch many believed would reignite his championship hopes.
Hamilton, 40, joined Ferrari after an illustrious 12-year stint with Mercedes, during which he clinched six of his seven world titles and became one of the most successful drivers in F1 history. However, his dream start with the Scuderia has quickly turned into a nightmare. Ferrari’s 2025 car has struggled with reliability and pace, leaving Hamilton frustrated and far from the podium in the opening races of the season.
Insiders close to the British driver claim he has become disillusioned with the sport’s direction and the challenges he’s facing with Ferrari. Reports suggest that rather than endure a full season of underperformance and media scrutiny, Hamilton may choose to bow out on his own terms — before the summer break.
The F1 community is in disbelief. Fans had high hopes that Hamilton’s move to Ferrari would mark a glorious final chapter in his career. Instead, it now appears that his time in F1 may end not with a title chase, but with a shocking early exit.
Hamilton has yet to confirm the reports publicly, but an official announcement is expected soon. If true, this retirement would mark the end of an era — and leave a significant void in the sport he helped define for over a decade.
