Even with the recent uptick in form for Lewis Hamilton, fans are not sold on his decision to join Ferrari and leave Mercedes.
Hamilton has earned Ferrari’s trust after a year filled with struggles. So far this season, he has earned his two best finishes with since joining the team.
While his strong start to the season has brought about some optimism that Hamilton has found his strength with Ferrari, the dominance from Mercedes, his former team, has raised questions about whether he made the right decision to leave in 2025.
Should Lewis Hamilton regret leaving Mercedes for Ferrari?
Some believe their recent success will definitely make Hamilton regret leaving Mercedes for Ferrari, as he could have had the best car this season had he stayed for a few more years.
And it appears many fans believe this to be the case, as a little over 50% of fans on TalkingPoints believe Lewis Hamilton will regret leaving Mercedes for Ferrari.

Over 50% of F1 fans think Lewis Hamilton will regret leaving Mercedes after dominant 2026 start
On TalkingPoints, we asked fans whether Lewis Hamilton would regret his decision to leave Mercedes to join Ferrari in 2025.
With nearly 800 votes, 51.3% of fans (406 votes) believe Hamilton made the wrong decision, and will wish for a do-over if given the chance.
However, 48.7% of fans believe Hamilton going to Ferrari was the correct decision, even with their inability to compete against Mercedes.
Clearly, this is a divisive issue among fans, and there is no clear answer. Perhaps because it might be a little too early to evaluate Hamilton’s move to Ferrari just yet.
Not to mention, Mercedes’ dominance to start the season is by no means guaranteed to continue till the end of the season, which could theoretically allow Hamilton and Ferrari to close the gap and compete for both championships.

Lewis Hamilton looking to turn Canadian GP momentum into genuine title push
Hamilton’s P2 finish in Montreal felt like a real statement from the driver, even bigger than his P3 finish at the Chinese Grand Prix back in April.
Hamilton’s efforts to get the best out of the SF-26 involved taking some big risks in the lead-up to the Canadian Grand Prix.
Hamilton’s decision to abandon the Ferrari simulator proved to pay off, as he looked far more comfortable in Montreal than he did across any other race weekend this season.
But now, with the F1 season entering the busiest period of the year, Hamilton must convert this momentum into a push to try and compete for the world championship.
Strong performances in at least half of the races left ahead of the summer break could allow the seven-time world champion to make a serious impact on the title race.
