Lewis Hamilton Begins Ferrari Era with First Day at Maranello

The seven-time F1 champion embarks on a new chapter, aiming for an eighth title with Ferrari after leaving Mercedes.

Lewis Hamilton officially started his Ferrari career on January 20, 2025, marking the beginning of his transition after 12 years with Mercedes.
Hamilton described joining Ferrari as the realization of a childhood dream, sharing his excitement through social media and public statements.
His first day included meetings with Ferrari leadership, technical briefings, and a tour of the Maranello headquarters, including Enzo Ferrari's historic office.
Hamilton is set to conduct initial testing in a Ferrari car later this week at the Fiorano track, weather permitting, before pre-season testing in Bahrain begins in late February.
The 2025 season will see Hamilton partner with Charles Leclerc, as Ferrari seeks to end its 16-year championship drought and secure its first drivers' title since 2007.
