Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari debut marks a new era in F1. The seven-time champion begins an exciting journey with the iconic team.
Lewis Hamilton Steps into Ferrari’s Legacy
The highly anticipated moment has arrived—Lewis Hamilton is officially a Ferrari driver. The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion was recently spotted at Maranello, marking his first appearance as part of the legendary Italian team. This milestone is significant, even for someone of Hamilton’s stature.
It’s been almost a year since Ferrari extended an offer that Hamilton couldn’t turn down, and now he’s just days away from hitting the Fiorano track for the first time with his new team.
The 40-year-old racer, who celebrated his milestone birthday just weeks ago, will soon be donning Ferrari’s signature red overalls at the F1 season launch on February 18. The very next day, he’ll be back in Italy for the team’s full car unveiling. Pre-season testing begins on February 26 in Bahrain, and the first race of the 2025 season will take place in Melbourne, Australia, two weeks later.
In a heartfelt message on Instagram, Hamilton shared his excitement: “There are moments in life you’ll never forget, and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days. I’ve been fortunate to accomplish so much in my career, but racing in red was always a dream. I’m thrilled to see that dream come true today.”
“This marks the start of a new era for this iconic team, and I can’t wait to see what history we’ll create together,” Hamilton added.
With his passion for racing and Ferrari’s legacy, the stage is set for an exciting partnership in the 2025 Formula 1 season and beyond.
