He will become the 12th British racer to drive a Ferrari in F1 as he bids to win a record eighth world title.
The official Australia Grand Prix account posted a graphic suggesting Hamilton’s Ferrari debut would be at Albert Park in 2025 rather than in Bahrain where the season starts this year on March 2.
However, the post was swiftly deleted.
There has been no confirmation yet on the venue of the 2025 season opener.
It would be a major shakeup to the calendar not seen for six years.
Australia previously hosted the season opener for F1 seasons between 2011 and 2019.
Before Melbourne, Adelaide was Australia’s resident F1 circuit from 1985 to 1995, though Adelaide was never a track which kick started an F1 season.
This run came to an end when the Covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, with Austria taking over the mantle that season.
