Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari: Norbert Haug didn’t see it coming

The approach to the new F1 season è has been marked by a sensational announcement that has left the entire circus open-mouthed, namely Lewis Hamilton’s decision to move to Ferrari starting in 2025 in place of Carlos Sainz. On this market move, even former Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug spoke out bluntly at the microphones of "motorsport-magazin".

"The motivations that led Lewis to make such a decision are still a mystery. Probably only very few people know the whole truthà and one of them I think is Toto Wolff" began the German manager.

"If I had to bet on something, on a partnership in Formula 1 that would last forever, I would have said Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes. I was completely stunned by his decision. I would have sworn that it would last forever and that he would stay even after he finished driving, as a brand ambassador or whatever" added Norbert Haug.

During the presentation of the new Mercedes, in addition, the seven-time world champion è dwelt exclusively on ending his experience with the Brackley team as best as possible without thinking about his future at Ferrari: " I know what this team è is capable of. I am incredibly grateful for the work done by every single person. Every time you walk into the factory, you can see the grit and determination of everyone. We are all very motivated for the year ahead. We will give it our all".
