Lewis Hamilton<\/a> is set to remain a Ferrari<\/a> driver until the end of the 2028 Formula 1 season, with details emerging ahead of the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, GPBlog has learned.<\/p>\n

The seven-time world champion\u2019s agreement with the Scuderia has officially been described only as a multi-year deal. However, GPBlog understands that Hamilton is committed through 2027 but could extend his stay for one further campaign, potentially keeping him in red until he is 43.<\/p>\n

Ferrari has not confirmed a 2028 race seat for Hamilton but a final decision could be in the Briton\u2019s hands, should his motivation to stay and Ferrari\u2019s performance remain strong.<\/p>\n

It comes ahead of Ferrari’s home race at the Italian GP and after Max Verstappen has committed his future to Red Bull<\/a> with a new extension through 2030, while Lando Norris has also signed on with McLaren<\/a> until at least 2030.<\/p>\n

Those agreements have removed two of Formula 1\u2019s biggest names from the market and intensified attention on the remaining long-term plans of Ferrari\u2019s current line-up. Charles Leclerc has already agreed a new multi-year Ferrari deal understood to extend beyond 2028, while Hamilton\u2019s position has remained less clearly defined in public.<\/p>\n

Should the reported option be activated by both parties, Ferrari would retain one of the sport\u2019s most successful drivers through a crucial phase of its project under the 2026 rules.<\/p>\n

Hamilton set his signs on winning an eighth F1 world title<\/p>\n

Hamilton arrived from Mercedes with the ambition of adding an eighth world championship to his record and becoming the latest champion to win for Formula 1\u2019s most famous team.<\/p>\n

His opening Ferrari campaign brought challenges, but the partnership has continued to carry enormous weight both on track and commercially. The prospect of a stay until 2028 would underline that Hamilton\u2019s move to Maranello was not designed as a brief final chapter.<\/p>\n

For Ferrari, continuity could be especially valuable as the team develops its car and operations for the new technical cycle, with boss Fred Vasseur hailing the Brit’s experience as crucial to Ferrari’s development. <\/p>\n

Hamilton\u2019s knowledge of previous regulation changes, combined with Leclerc\u2019s long-term commitment, would give the Scuderia a stable driver pairing for the seasons ahead.<\/p>\n

As Ferrari prepares for its most emotionally charged weekend of the year, Hamilton\u2019s future is now another major storyline to watch. A decision on 2028 may not be imminent, but the door appears open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton is set to remain a Ferrari driver until the end of the 2028 Formula 1 season,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":876468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[879,49,48,578,930,576,577,932,82],"class_list":["post-876467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-breaking-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=876467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/876467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/876468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=876467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=876467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=876467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
