RacingNews365 Readers have given a resounding verdict on Ferrari’s decision to keep Lewis Hamilton for the 2027 season, with 97.6% voting in favor and just 2.4% against.
It’s a remarkable show of faith in the 41-year-old, who endured a nightmare 2025 campaign to finish sixth in the standings with 156 points, zero Grand Prix podiums and a yawning 86-point gap to teammate Charles Leclerc. Statistically, that first year in red was the weakest of Hamilton’s entire career.
And yet here we are. In mid-2026, Hamilton will be third in the Drivers’ Championship with 147 points ahead of Leclerc, with a victory in Barcelona, five podiums in nine races and points in every single round. The turnaround was nothing short of extraordinary.
Team principal Fred Wasser confirmed the news in a typically low-key manner. When asked directly whether Hamilton would drive for Ferrari in 2027, the team boss simply replied: “Yes.”
Hamilton himself has long viewed 2026 as the season that will define his time at Maranello, crediting Vasser with the internal changes that have fueled the team’s resurgence.
“I wouldn’t be in this team without Fred,” Hamilton said after the Barcelona triumph. “Fred is the one who made this possible, for which I am incredibly grateful.”
Our readers clearly agree that betting on Hamilton remains the right decision. With a rate of 97.6%, there is very little room for debate.
