Lewis Hamilton has opened up about the stark contrast between Ferrari and Mercedes as he prepares for his highly anticipated move to the Italian team in 2025. The seven-time world champion described the differences as “upside down,” highlighting how the two teams operate in completely distinct ways.
Hamilton, who has spent over a decade with Mercedes, is accustomed to their structured approach and deep-rooted success. However, Ferrari, despite its rich history, has often struggled with consistency, particularly in strategy and team management. Hamilton acknowledged that adapting to this new environment will be one of the biggest challenges of his career.
“Ferrari and Mercedes are two completely different worlds—it’s almost like everything is upside down,” Hamilton admitted. “The way they develop the car, the way the team is structured, and even the culture—it’s all very different.”
Ferrari’s passionate fanbase and intense pressure to deliver results add another layer of complexity to the transition. While Mercedes has been known for its methodical and data-driven decision-making, Ferrari operates with a mix of tradition and aggression, sometimes leading to unpredictable outcomes.
Despite the differences, Hamilton remains excited about the challenge, believing he can bring valuable experience to Ferrari. “It will take time to adjust, but I’m looking forward to the journey. Hopefully, we can create something special together.”
As the 2025 season approaches, the motorsport world will be watching closely to see how Hamilton handles this drastic change and whether he can bring Ferrari back to championship glory.
