Hamilton has left Mercedes after 12 illustrious seasons - in which he claimed 84 grand prix victories and won six of his seven world titles - to embark on a stint at F1’s most famous team with whom he will close out his legendary grand prix career.

One of Lewis Hamilton's most infamous Formula 1 rivals has unleashed criticism on his former team-mate following his exit from Mercedes . The seven-time champion has officially left the Silver Arrows after 12 years with Toto Wolff's team, marking the end of the most successful partnership the sport has ever seen.

According to a report from Autosport, Hamilton will enjoy his first on-track action for Ferrari on January 20th or 21st.

1992 F1 world champion Nigel Mansell believes Lewis Hamilton “has got another championship in him” and has backed him to have a “total resurgence”. Hamilton will make his Ferrari F1 debut at the Australian Grand Prix in March. The 39-year-old will be hoping to rediscover his previous form after a disappointing final year with Mercedes.
