Lewis Hamilton joins Ferrari

The world of Formula 1 is abuzz with excitement, as evidenced by the news that Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, has begun a new chapter in his impressive career by joining Scuderia Ferrari for the 2025 season. The move marks a significant transition after twelve years at Mercedes, during which Hamilton won six of his titles and cemented his status as one of the greatest drivers in F1 history.

For years, Hamilton has been rumored to be keen to drive for Ferrari – a team synonymous with Formula One heritage. Now, that dream has become a reality. On 20 January 2025, Hamilton arrived at Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello for the first time as a team member. Dressed in a smart suit, he posed for photographs outside Enzo Ferrari’s home, marking the start of what could be a pivotal phase of his career.


Despite the rain, Hamilton interacted with fans who had gathered to see the legendary driver. His schedule included an adaptation program designed to integrate him into Ferrari's culture, a crucial step as he moves to a team known for its tradition and desire to reclaim its former glory.


Hamilton joins Ferrari at a crucial time. The team has not won a world title since Kimi Räikkönen won in 2007. Paired with Charles Leclerc, Ferrari's star and fan favourite, Hamilton brings unparalleled experience and a desire to win an eighth title, breaking Michael Schumacher 's long-standing record. In his first statement as a Ferrari driver, Hamilton expressed his excitement:

"This is the beginning of a new era for me, and I couldn't be happier to be joining Ferrari. The passion and history of this team are unparalleled, and I am determined to bring success back to Maranello."

First outing on the trail

Hamilton's first appearance in red will take place at Ferrari's Fiorano track on January 22, 2025. For this debut appearance, he will drive the F1-75, Ferrari's 2022 car. Although the session is primarily intended for testing and adaptation, it represents a symbolic moment for Hamilton and the team.

The return of Angela Cullen, his long-time physiotherapist and confidante, brings additional interest to Hamilton's move to Ferrari. Cullen, who split from Hamilton in 2023, will rejoin him at Ferrari, renewing a partnership that has been key to many of his successes.


As the 2025 season approaches, Hamilton's move to Ferrari is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing stories in recent F1 history. With the combination of Hamilton's talent and Ferrari's resources, the world will be watching with bated breath to see if this partnership can return the Scuderia to the top. All eyes will be on Maranello as the countdown to the start of the season begins. Will Hamilton's dream of an eighth title come true in Ferrari's iconic red car? Time will tell, but one thing is certain: the 2025 Formula 1 season promises to be one to remember.
