Max Verstappen is not surprised by Lewis Hamilton’s decision

Before the start of the new season, Ferrari announced that Lewis Hamilton will be the new driver from 2025.

The move shocked the world of sports, but not Max Verstappen, who considered the departure of his rival from Ferrari predictable.

“After all, it’s not a surprise to see him in a Ferrari. If this is your childhood dream, then you have to make that decision, right?

They announced such a big event at the beginning of the season and I think the rest of the year is going to be a little weird. No wonder he’s moving to Ferrari.” – he said, according to Sky Sports.
