Lewis Hamilton says starting his final season at Mercedes will be an emotional and surreal experience .
Earlier this month, he announced he would move to Ferrari in 2025.
Hamilton said he was proud of the unveiling of Mercedes’ new W15 car at Silverstone on Wednesday and said he was fully focused on this year and believed this would be a future step forward for the team.
His decision to leave came as a shock to the team he joined in 2013 and won six of the seven F1 world championships.
Speaking publicly for the first time since then, the 39-year-old said it was a moment of great resonance.
“It was emotional.
It’s very surreal to be here,” said the British driver.
“I came here in 2013 and am in my 11th year with the team, but this year is the start of my 12th.
