Mercedes also announced Hamilton’s departure, saying that he activated a release option in the contract announced last year. The British driver will be driving alongside Charles Leclerc, who extended his contract with Ferrari last week in an undisclosed multi-year deal.
Carlos Sainz leaves the Scuderia after four years, being the last winner for Ferrari, with victory in the 2023 Singapore Grand Prix – becoming the only driver outside of RBR to win in the last F1 season.
