Overview
- Multiple reports, including ESPN cited by UK outlets, indicate Ferrari is not planning to offer Lewis Hamilton a new deal beyond his current contract that runs through 2026.
- Speculation in recent coverage links junior talent Oliver Bearman as a potential future option, though no decision has been announced.
- Hamilton has scored 37 points across the last five race weekends and qualified a season-best third in Mexico, where a 10‑second penalty cost him a likely podium.
- He acknowledges he worried about cultural differences on joining Ferrari but says relationships are improving and that the team is implementing changes he advocated.
- Ferrari’s SF‑25 remains a limiting factor, with Charles Leclerc warning it will be “very, very tough” to hold second in the constructors; Ferrari lead Mercedes 356–355, while Hamilton sits sixth in the drivers’ standings on 146 points.
