But despite being just five races into his two-year deal, Red Bull’s former Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari reckons Hamilton will quit Ferrari.
Alguersuari, who featured in 46 F1 races between 2009 and 2011, told the After Lap Podcast: "I have the feeling that Hamilton, he’s going to leave.
"I don’t know why I’m taking a risk by saying this.
"But I have the feeling that he’s like, his time has passed, that he’s already won a lot, that he’s already won everything and that he’s saying: ‘OK, I’ve gone to Ferrari to try and see what happens in 2026.'"

Ferrari last won a constructors' title 17 years ago and Alguersuari seemed to suggest joining them was a poor move for Hamilton if he wants to surpass Michael Schumacher's seven world titles.
He added: "Ferrari is not a winning team. A team is a team that wins races, but it is not a winning team. They have not won since 2008.
"They may have a competitive car, they may have a competitive team, but they don’t have a winning team. There is a difference."
Alguersuari's comments come as Hamilton cut a frustrated figure after finishing seventh at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix last Sunday.
