Racing in his final Formula One season With Mercedes before moving to Ferrari the following year.
With the Brackley-based team, the seven-time world champion achieved unmatched success, taking home six trophies between 2014 and 2020.
Since the introduction of new technical regulations in 2022, Mercedes has fallen in the rankings, and Hamilton hasn’t won a race in the last two years.
Hamilton claimed in an interview with GQ Sports that he is not depressed about his current run of poor performance.
“I’ve manifested everything I’ve ever wanted to do,” Hamilton said.
“I do it every year. Working with Tommy. Winning a world championship. Breaking records. And so I’ve had some other plans for the future.”
When asked if he manifested his Ferrari move, Hamilton replied: “Yeah. I think perhaps more unconscious manifesting from the early period of my life.
“But it’s always been up there for me. For now, though, I’m gonna lift Mercedes as high as I can this year.”
Hamilton’s warnings
Before leaving for Ferrari, Hamilton intends to leave Mercedes on a high note and leave the competition in his wake.
“The way that I exist, I don’t look at it as on the way out,” he said.
“My commitment to the team is exactly the same as previous years: I want to kill every other team.
“We want to beat them. My approach remains the same, right till the end.
“And can’t let too much of my mind be distracted by what’s afterwards. You can’t really tap into that until next year.”
