Key Mercedes F1 figure set to join Hamilton at Ferrari
Former F1 driver Jerome d’Ambrosio is reportedly set to follow Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes to Ferrari in 2025.
Hamilton’s sensational move to Maranello for next season sent shockwaves across the world of F1 and sent the driver market into chaos with 13 drivers out of a seat at the end of the year.

Along with the rumours about who will replace the 39-year-old at Mercedes for next season, there have been reports suggesting that other key personnel could join Hamilton in switching to Ferrari, including his race engineer Peter ‘Bono’ Bonnington.
And it appears that d’Ambrosio, who has been with Mercedes since the start of the 2023 season, may be on the way to the Italian Team.
D'Ambrosio set to join Ferrari
The Belgian joined the silver arrows initially on an informal basis working closely with team principal Toto Wolff, before being appointed as the team’s Driver Development Director ahead of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.
The 38-year-old is responsible for looking after and managing Mercedes’ young drivers and Wolff previously stated that he would replace him as team principal if he is absent from a race weekend.
But it has been reported by Japanese publication as-web.jp that d’Ambrosio is on the way to Ferrari and has already agreed terms with team boss Frederic Vasseur.

It has also been suggested that he could even be a part of the team before the summer break this season.
The Belgian debuted in F1 in 2011 with Marussia Virgin Racing and had a one-off appearance with Lotus in 2012.
After serving as their reverse driver in 2013, d’Ambrosio embarked on six seasons in Formula E, with a highest finish of fourth in the standings in the 2014-15 season.
