Lewis Hamilton has shocked the world of motorsports and Formula 1 with his agreement with Ferrari starting from 2025. The seven-time world champion has not only surprised fans and enthusiasts of single-seaters, but also his own family. The parents, as the English driver himself states, were not aware of the negotiation between the thirty-nine-year-old and the Red team. In addition to the father and mother, the brothers also learned of the move to Maranello only once the talks were concluded. Lewis himself revealed this during the BBC podcast 'F1: Back to Base'.
