Haas team principal Guenther Steiner has urged Lewis Hamilton to not ‘regret’ his decision to move to Ferrari in 2025.
The F1 icon confirmed he would be leaving Mercedes at the start of the year, with the veteran currently in the midst of his last season with the Silver Arrows.
Hamilton’s departure came at a time when Mercedes were struggling, with the veteran unable to scale the dizzying heights of old.
However, the Stevenage-born racer has returned to form in recent times – winning the British Grand Prix and Belgian Grand Prix.

F1 news: Lewis Hamilton has been urged not to ‘regret’ his move to FerrariGETTY
With Ferrari suddenly being pursued by Mercedes in the constructor standings, and with Hamilton hot on the heels of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr, some feel he might regret his decision to swap sides.
But Steiner has urged Hamilton to avoid thinking like that while also backing the seven-time F1 champion to deliver when he leaves Mercedes behind.
“I think Lewis is confident enough,” Steiner told RacingNews365.
“He made the decision, he knows he can’t change it. Focus on what is coming and not regretting [it]. You can’t change it anyway.
