Lando Norris had a blunt response to Lewis Hamilton's much-anticipated Ferrari move. The McLaren driver felt Hamilton's departure felt like a farewell the way he was being treated. He clarified that his compatriot was just moving to another team within the sport, and was not retiring.
Hamilton parted ways with Mercedes at the end of the 2024 season. He had a one-plus-one-year contract with them, and his decision to move away from Brackley shocked many, including the team principal, Toto Wolff.
Hamilton's move to Ferrari has a noteworthy dynamic. On one hand, he is breaking away from the most successful driver-team combination in F1. On the other hand, Hamilton, as the most successful F1 driver ever, is joining the most successful F1 team in the sport.
