British driver Lewis Hamilton has taken a significant step in his career by joining the Ferrari team for the 2025 Formula 1 season. Hamilton, who previously raced for McLaren and Mercedes, expressed his happiness at making this dream come true. The season will kick off with the Australian Grand Prix in mid-March.
In his early days as a Ferrari driver, Hamilton had the opportunity to test the car at the private Fiorano circuit, covering a total of 90 kilometers in 30 laps. Dressed in the team's characteristic gear and his iconic yellow helmet, Hamilton appeared excited during his debut with the Italian team.
The car used by Hamilton was the Ferrari SF-23, the same one they raced during the 2023 season. The British driver is expected to continue adapting to the new team at the Circuit de Catalunya before the preseason tests in Bahrain, which will take place on February 26.
At 40 years old, Hamilton will begin his nineteenth season in Formula 1, matching Michael Schumacher as the most successful driver in the championship, with seven titles obtained throughout his career. The Brit conveyed his excitement and surprise at the opportunity to wear Ferrari's colors, confirming that this new chapter is a dream come true for him.
