I wonder what motivated HAM to go to Ferrari.
He has said in the past that he'd like to drive for Ferrari once too.
But he also really want's his 8th title.
And obviously he knows lots of details about the coming W15.
Is next years W15 gonna be just as worse as last year's car?

And my gut feeling says he's gonna be beaten by LEC...

Not winning for 16 years now, Ferrari want a championship at any cost but there is a one thing that's more important than money alone in F1 and that's MAX's talent.

"Ferrari announced it has signed Lewis Hamilton from 2025 on a multi-year contract, as Mercedes confirms the seven-time world champion activated a break clause to leave."

Somewhere Kimi Räikkönen is having a good laugh and enjoying an adult beverage.

A little off topic, but is it just me, or is anyone else bothered by the use of "from" in this sentence. I notice it all the time in F1 news coverage, so perhaps it's more typical of British grammar? Curious since we have a worldwide audience here.

I would typically use "starting in" for this sentence, since it's an indefinite future event. I usually only use "from" for events that have already taken place, or when referencing a defined timeline that occurs in the future (from xx until xx). The indefinite future of "from 2025" just seems odd to me, it seems like it needs a "until xxxx", otherwise the sentence seems incomplete.

It's not just you, I too, cringe at some of the vocabulary used by some so called journalists.
Saying 'as from' instead of 'from' would be more meaningful.
