Seven- time Formula 1 world champ Lewis Hamilton is on the cusp of a surprise relocation from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, according to numerous media reports.
Both Sky Sports and BBC Sport reported on the news and recommended that official verification might come as early as Thursday.
CNBC was unable to separately validate the reports.
Mercedes decreased to comment when gotten in touch with by CNBC. A representative at Ferrari was not right away offered to comment.
It comes quickly before the start of the next Formula 1 season, which gets underway in Bahrain fromFeb 29.
A relocate to Ferrari, among the most renowned groups in the history of motorsport, would bring an end to an incredibly effective collaboration. Hamilton very first signed with Mercedes in 2013 and went on to win 6 of his 7 world titles with the group in between 2014 and 2020.
The possibility of Hamilton signing up with Ferrari has actually been the topic of extreme speculation over current years, although Hamilton has formerly stated he plans to stick with Mercedes for the rest of his life.
