Despite achieving six world titles and breaking countless records with the team, his final season at Mercedes has been blighted with the fluctuating performance of the W15.

Hamilton’s recent results in Austin, Mexico and Brazil have left the champion frustrated, and he has delivered a series of defeated post-race interviews as he appears puzzled by Mercedes’ struggles.

When will Lewis Hamilton move to Ferrari?

The Brit will be replaced at Mercedes by youngster Kimi Antonelli, who will make his full-time debut in 2025.

Until then, Hamilton will attempt to maximise his results with the team in his final races, but will be undoubtedly looking at Ferrari who have demonstrated strong pace in recent outings.

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz won the US and Mexican GPs respectively, helping their team jump past Red Bull into second in the constructors' championship.

However, Hamilton will have to wait until 2025 to reap the benefits of Ferrari’s new-found pace, where he will look to achieve a record-breaking eighth world title.

Hamilton is also set to make another change for the final few races of 2024, with Mercedes announcing a helmet change on X.

Following a competition where UK students were asked to designed a new helmet for the champion, Mercedes have revealed the winning designs that Hamilton will wear at the upcoming races in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

"We asked. You delivered," the team wrote on X.

"We teamed up with @INEOS and @INEOSHygienics to challenge UK students to design a helmet for Lewis.

"From nearly 2,000 entries, we're proud to announce the three winning designs. A huge thanks to all who participated!"
