Lewis Hamilton Begins His Ferrari Journey Ahead of 2025 F1 Season
In a move that has sent shockwaves through the motorsport world, seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has officially started his tenure at Ferrari, marking a historic chapter in his illustrious career. The British racing legend joined the Scuderia after a 10-season stint with Mercedes, where he secured six of his world titles and cemented his place as one of the sport’s all-time greats.
Hamilton, now 40, expressed his excitement about the new challenge. “Driving for Ferrari has always been a dream. Their history, their passion—it’s unmatched. I’m here to help bring the championship back to Maranello,” he said during a media briefing at Ferrari’s headquarters.
Hamilton’s move comes after Ferrari endured a challenging 2024 season, finishing behind Red Bull and Mercedes in the Constructors’ Championship. The team’s decision to pair Hamilton with Charles Leclerc has been hailed as a bold attempt to reclaim their dominance in Formula 1.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur expressed optimism, stating, “Lewis brings a wealth of experience, determination, and a winning mentality. Alongside Charles, we believe we have the strongest driver lineup on the grid.”
Fans eagerly anticipate the on-track chemistry between Hamilton and Leclerc. While some foresee a harmonious partnership, others predict fierce intra-team rivalry, given both drivers’ competitive nature.
Hamilton’s debut in the iconic red car is set for the 2025 season opener in Bahrain. Expectations are high as Ferrari aims to end their championship drought, which dates back to Kimi Räikkönen’s 2007 title.
As pre-season testing looms, all eyes are on Ferrari to see if they can provide Hamilton with a car capable of competing with Red Bull’s dominant pace. The stakes have never been higher for both the team and their new star driver.
