Mercedes verified the stunning announcement on social media before Ferrari issued a one-line statement stating that he is joining them on a “multi-year” contract. Hamilton will replace Carlos Sainz at Ferrari. Charles Leclerc, who signed a new contract with Ferrari this week, will be Hamilton’s new teammate beginning next season.
