Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has received an unexpected proposition for a new teammate ahead of his move to Ferrari in 2025 from a current Red Bull driver.
With just five races left with Mercedes—where he won six of his titles since joining in 2013—Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari for the 2024 season shocked the F1 world.
Ferrari has recently improved its standing, securing a one-two finish at the US GP with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, putting them just eight points behind Red Bull and 48 points behind McLaren as the season wraps up.
As the F1 circuit heads to Mexico for the 20th race of the season, Hamilton might be surprised by Red Bull’s Sergio Perez expressing interest in becoming his teammate at Ferrari.
Despite struggling in qualifying and facing uncertainty about his future with Red Bull, Perez indicated he would prefer to race alongside Hamilton in red rather than risk losing his seat.
In a humorous social media interaction on the official Formula 1 account, Perez jokingly referred to himself as ‘Gonzalo Perez’ and claimed to be Hamilton’s future Ferrari teammate.
