Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, is reportedly set to leave Mercedes for Ferrari in the 2025 season.
Sources indicate that Hamilton's move to join Charles Leclerc at Ferrari has been agreed upon, although neither team has officially commented on the matter.
The potential transfer is considered a significant event in Formula 1, with the announcement anticipated as soon as Thursday.
Hamilton had recently signed a two-year extension with Mercedes but is now expected to depart after just one year into the deal.
Reports of Hamilton's possible move to Ferrari surfaced in the Italian and Spanish media before being verified by BBC Sport.
Several senior sources confirm the impending move, which is expected to be officially announced in the near future.
Mercedes team members have been called to a briefing, likely to announce Hamilton's departure, indicating the swiftness of the decision.
Ferrari's interest in Hamilton emerged after negotiations with Carlos Sainz, prompting the team's president, John Elkann, to secure Hamilton's signature, facilitated by their existing friendship.
