Lewis Hamilton marked his arrival at Ferrari on January 20, 2025, in Maranello, Italy, posing next to the legendary Ferrari F40.
Dressed impeccably, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion was welcomed at the team’s headquarters before heading to the Fiorano track to meet with team principal Fred Vasseur and CEO Benedetto Vigna.
This historic moment symbolizes the beginning of a new era in the career of the 40-year-old British driver, who celebrated the moment on social media: “A part of me has always held onto this dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to make this dream come true today. […] I can’t wait to see what story we’ll write together.”
Hamilton, who has previously owned iconic Ferrari models like the 599 GTO and LaFerrari, is now set to officially represent the brand. The driver may promote new models such as the F80 or Purosangue. Before leaving Mercedes, Lewis secured an exclusive AMG One, showing his appreciation for high-performance machines.
His first test in a Ferrari F1 car is scheduled for January 22, driving the F1-75 model used during the 2022 season. He will share the track with Charles Leclerc at Fiorano, and additional tests are planned at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya later this month.
Hamilton’s transition to Ferrari is set to shake up the Formula 1 scene in 2025.
