Despite achieving six world titles and breaking countless records with the team, his final season at Mercedes has been blighted with the fluctuating performance of the W15.

When will Lewis Hamilton move to Ferrari?

Until then Hamilton will attempt to maximise his results with the team in his final races, but will be undoubtedly looking at Ferrari who have demonstrated strong pace in recent outings.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz won the US and Mexican GPs respectively, helping their team jump past Red Bull for second in the constructors' championship.

However, Hamilton will have to wait until 2025 to reap the benefits of Ferrari’s new-found pace, where he will look to achieve a record breaking eighth world title.
