Nico Rosberg has warned Lewis Hamilton about his massive move from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, saying it could be "quite a painful adventure". The seven-time world champion shocked the paddock with the news he will be leaving the German team for the Scuderia next season,

In the final years of their joint time at Mercedes, the relationship between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg was not always friendly. Since then, however, Rosberg has not been shy to share how good he thinks his former teammate is.

And for his work, Ferrari will pay him handsomely: while the exact figures are unknown, reports suggest that Lewis Hamilton will earn around $100 million when everything from salary, sponsors, image rights and bonuses are taken into account. This will make him the highest-paid Scuderia Ferrari driver of all time.
