F1 stars STUNNED by Hamilton Ferrari move

Lewis Hamilton's shock move to Ferrari didn't just take fans and pundits by surprise, but some of his fellow drivers too.

The British driver has long been linked with the Scuderia, but had previously turned them down every time they approached him.

These rumors seemed to be rubbished even more when the 38-year-old extended his contract with Mercedes until the end of the 2025 season last summer.

But on Thursday morning, Hamilton’s incredible move to Maranello looked to be all but confirmed, with the Mercedes staff at Brackley HQ finding out about the shocking departure later that day.

There has been complete chaos on social media surrounding the move and some of the F1 grid’s reactions sum up exactly how everyone is feeling.

Posting on their separate X accounts, McLaren drivers Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris gave hilarious reactions to the breaking news.

The brilliant tweet was then followed up by team-mate Norris, who responded with a short clip of him pulling a confused face during an interview.

Fans quickly rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts on the McLaren duo’s antics.

“He had the opportunity to make the funniest tweet ever and he did,” wrote one user.

“Nothing really, it’s been really quiet the last couple of days no drama,” wrote another.
