In early February, it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will make the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari in 2025. The news was a real shock in the Formula 1 world. Of course, the news did not escape Sergio Perez either.
There have been many reactions to the news, which is not surprising: it is perhaps the biggest transfer within Formula 1 of the 21st century. Helmut Marko also reacted to the news within days. He claimed that the seven-time world champion would have lost faith in Mercedes.

Perez doubts Hamilton's move to Ferrari

Sergio Perez does think it will be a huge challenge for Hamilton. "I think it's a big risk in many ways. Joining a new team is always a massive challenge, because Charles [Leclerc] will be very established at Ferrari by the time he [Hamilton] comes in. There is also a massive regulation change in 2026, so that gives good opportunities again. But it's always a big risk to change teams. I think he really wanted to do it," Perez told Sky Sports.
