Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari Debut Set to Take Place in January
The highly anticipated move of Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari has finally become a reality, and fans around the world are eagerly waiting to see the seven-time Formula 1 world champion don the iconic red colors of the Italian team. Although Hamilton’s official debut with Ferrari is scheduled to take place during the Bahrain testing in February, Ferrari chief Fred Vasseur has revealed that, weather permitting, Hamilton will get his first taste of driving a Ferrari F1 car in January.
As part of the Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) program, Hamilton will be driving older machinery, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in his illustrious career. The Italian media has recently revealed the identity of Hamilton’s new race engineer at Ferrari, a crucial role that will play a significant part in the driver’s success with the team.
During his time at Mercedes, Hamilton formed a highly successful partnership with Peter Bonnington, who served as his race engineer. However, Bonnington decided to remain with Mercedes, opting not to make the switch to Ferrari alongside Hamilton. Instead, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Riccardo Adami will take on the responsibility of being Hamilton’s new right-hand man on the pit wall.
Adami has a wealth of experience, having previously worked as the race engineer for Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, as well as four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. This appointment is likely to be a significant factor in Hamilton’s success with Ferrari, as the driver-engineer relationship is crucial in Formula 1.
In addition to Adami, Hamilton is also set to bring a number of professionals who have worked with him behind the scenes in recent years. According to the Italian report, these individuals will be working on projects parallel to Hamilton’s F1 career and include his manager Marc Hynes. This move is likely to provide Hamilton with a sense of continuity and familiarity as he embarks on this new chapter with Ferrari.
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Hamilton and Ferrari, eager to see how the team will perform with the addition of the highly talented and experienced driver. With Adami by his side, Hamilton will be looking to make a strong impression and challenge for the championship title.
The partnership between Hamilton and Ferrari is undoubtedly one of the most exciting developments in the world of Formula 1, and fans will be eagerly anticipating the team’s performance in the upcoming season. With a new team, a new engineer, and a fresh challenge, Hamilton will be looking to prove himself once again as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the sport.
As the countdown to the new season begins, one thing is certain – Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari is set to be one of the most exciting storylines of the 2025 Formula 1 season. With his debut set to take place in January, fans will be eagerly waiting to see Hamilton in action, donning the iconic red colors of Ferrari.
