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.
Bahrain have hosted each of the opening races since 2021.
Between 1996 and 2019, Albert Park in Melbourne played host to F1 season openers in all but two years.
Hamilton will pocked £100million to join Ferrari in a switch that has shocked F1.
The seven-time world champion agreed to drive for F1’s most famous team in 2025 and 2026.
In a statement issued by Mercedes, Hamilton, 39, said he was committed to finishing the season with Mercedes before taking on a new challenge.
He said: “I have had an amazing 11 years with this team and I’m so proud of what we have achieved together.
“Mercedes has been part of my life since I was 13 years old.
“It’s a place where I have grown up, so making the decision to leave was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make.
“But the time is right for me to take this step and I’m excited to be taking on a new challenge.
“I will be forever grateful for the incredible support of my Mercedes family, especially Toto for his friendship and leadership and I want to finish on a high together.
“I am 100 percent committed to delivering the best performance I can this season and making my last year with the Silver Arrows, one to remember.”
