F1 journalist Will Buxton has suggested that Lewis Hamilton may quit Ferrari sooner than the end of his current contract, if a rumoured change is completed.
Hamilton and Fred Vasseur worked together in GP2 back in 2006, when Hamilton won the title and was subsequently promoted to F1, and the Brit has been backing Vasseur throughout 2025, despite pressure on the Frenchman’s position.
Now, following the brutal axing of Christian Horner from the Red Bull setup, Vasseur has been tipped to be replaced by the man who led Red Bull to six constructors’ championships across 20 years.
He has only outqualified Charles Leclerc on four occasions out of 12, and sits 16 points behind the Monegasque racer down in sixth in the drivers’ championship.
