Brundle reveals how he expects Hamilton ‘farewell tour’ to unfold

Martin Brundle anticipates that Lewis Hamilton will devote himself entirely to what he envisions as a 'farewell tour' with Mercedes in the upcoming season.

The 2024 season marks Hamilton's 12th and final campaign with the German team, bringing an end to a historic partnership that has endured for over a decade since his Formula 1 debut with a Mercedes-powered McLaren in 2007.

Throughout his tenure with the team, the British driver has achieved remarkable milestones, including equaling Michael Schumacher's record with six of his seven world titles secured under the Mercedes banner.

Hamilton has also shattered numerous records, standing as the all-time leader in wins, pole positions, and podium finishes in Formula 1 history.

Hamilton will make the switch to Ferrari for the 2025 season on a multi-year deal, replacing Carlos Sainz and will partner up with Charles Leclerc, who has also signed a long-term contract with the team.

Brundle: Mercedes will see 2024 as farewell tour

“He’ll be wearing those overalls, holding that steering wheel, representing 1,500 people. If everybody’s smart in that, and I think they are all very smart people, they’ve had such a wonderful relationship together, Hamilton and Mercedes-Benz, and Toto and the team, I think they’ll see it as a farewell tour.

“That’s how I think they should and will treat it, and then wish him farewell and hope that he loses in a Ferrari.”
