Ferrari vice-chairman Piero Ferrari said there is “excitement” within the team about Lewis Hamilton arriving for F1 2025 and the “first approach was very nice with everyone” at Maranello. Hamilton made his first factory visit as an official Ferrari driver almost a fortnight ago before taking part in the Scuderia’s annual ‘wake-up’ test at Fiorano a couple of days later.

Ferrari have confirmed that their 2025 F1 car will be called the SF-25, in line with their last two Scuderia challengers. Lewis Hamilton will debut in scarlet red this year and is set to drive the SF-25 for the first time at the official three-day pre-season test in Bahrain from 26-28 February.

The incident happened during a three-day test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in the team’s 2023 F1 car.

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he has realized his “dream” after his first official day at Ferrari, promising “a new era” for the team.

Lewis Hamilton was leaving Mercedes at the end of the 2024 Formula 1 season for Ferrari.

Sir Lewis Hamilton has spoken out for the first time after he crashed during a pre-season test which caused ‘significant damage’ to his Ferrari. The seven-time Formula 1 champion’s Ferrari career began last week and he has been testing some of their older cars in order to get acclimatised with his new team.
