Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, has shared an exciting update as he prepares for a new chapter in his career with Ferrari. Hamilton is set to make his debut in Ferrari’s F1 car later this month as part of the team’s Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) programme. The highly anticipated debut marks the first time Hamilton will drive for Ferrari, a move that has stirred excitement within the F1 community.
Although Hamilton will experience driving a Ferrari F1 car for the first time in January, his first official run in Ferrari’s 2025 car will take place during the Bahrain testing sessions in February. This marks a significant moment in his illustrious career as he transitions from Mercedes, the team where he has spent the majority of his career, to Scuderia Ferrari. The Bahrain test is expected to give Hamilton his first full experience with the car that will be used in the upcoming season.
Further building anticipation for his switch, Hamilton’s official race debut with Ferrari will come in March at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, the opening race of the 2025 F1 season. This race will mark his transition from a dominant figure at Mercedes to a key driver for one of F1’s most iconic teams, making the 2025 season a landmark one in his career.
Notably, the next time Hamilton steps into a Formula 1 car, he will do so as a 40-year-old, having celebrated his milestone birthday on January 7. Despite the advancing years, Hamilton has shown no signs of slowing down. His determination to stay at the top of his game remains evident as he prepares for the upcoming season. In a recent post shared on his Instagram stories, Hamilton shared a glimpse into his offseason training, showing himself in snowboarding gear on the slopes, which he captioned with a message about his hard work and preparations for the new season. This post further underscores his commitment to staying in peak physical and mental condition as he enters the next phase of his F1 journey.
Hamilton’s continued success and his ability to adapt to new challenges have made him a figure of great resilience and professionalism in the world of motorsport. As he gears up for his debut with Ferrari, fans and pundits alike are eagerly watching to see how this new partnership will unfold and how the seasoned champion will fare in his new environment. Despite the inevitable challenges that come with joining a new team, Hamilton’s legacy and experience in Formula 1 give him the potential to thrive once again and compete at the highest level.
