Sky Sports F1 pundit Ted Kravitz has claimed that Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton got emotional after he realized that his partnership with the German team was ending after the next two races. The seven-time F1 world champion shocked the paddock before the season when he announced that he would depart the Brackley-based outfit for Ferrari in 2025.
The move caught everyone by surprise as the 39-year-old had signed a contract extension with Mercedes in August 2023 until the end of the 2025 season. However, he decided to activate his release clause to join Ferrari at the beginning of the 2025 season.
As per F1 Oversteer, Kravitz revealed that during his media duties in Qatar, Hamilton was "teary" after it dawned on him that his time with Mercedes coming to an end after the next two races.
