Stefanos Tsitsipas drew an amusing Batman analogy about Lewis Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari. The seven-time F1 champion is expected to make his Ferrari debut in the Australian Grand Prix in March 2025.
Hamilton is a seven-time Formula 1 world driver’s champion, winning his first title with McLaren in 2008. He joined Mercedes in 2013 and secured six more titles. Last year, he announced his decision to switch to one of Mercedes’ biggest rivals, Ferrari from 2025 onwards.
In an Instagram Reel shared by Mercedes’ official handle on December 20, 2024, Hamilton, whose net worth is $300 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth), was seen bidding farewell to the team he spent over a decade with. Greek tennis star Tstisipas recently commented on the post:
“Lewis leaving Mercedes is like Batman leaving Gotham”
Tsitsipas’ comparison of the Brit leaving Mercedes to “Batman leaving Gotham” highlights the deep connection between Hamilton and the team. Much like how Gotham is synonymous with Batman, Mercedes has been Hamilton’s home for over a decade, where he became a dominant force in F1.
The Greek tennis star meanwhile has had a horrid start to his 2025 season with a first-round exit at the Australian Open. He believes ‘karma’ may have struck at the event.
