Lewis Hamilton is excited to begin his new adventure at Ferrari ahead of the 2025 Formula One season.
The seven-time champion’s contract with Ferrari started on January 1, expressing his desire to embrace new opportunities.
He said: “Moving to Scuderia Ferrari, there’s a lot to reflect on.
“To anyone considering their next move in 2025: embrace the change.
“Whether you’re switching industries, learning a new skill, or even just taking on new challenges, remember that reinvention is powerful. Your next opportunity is always within reach.”
Ferrari have also unveiled their plans for Hamilton.
He is expected to visit the factory, drive the simulator, and do some days in a 2023 car, activities aimed at getting used to the new team and the way the car is operated.
The 2025 Ferrari will be launched on 19 February, one day after F1’s first official season launch at the O2 in London.
The official pre-season test days will be on 26-28 February in Bahrain, with Hamilton and Leclerc dividing their time in the new car equally.
Team principal Frederic Vasseur said at Ferrari’s official Christmas lunch last month that Hamilton’s first six weeks with the team were “critical”.
He said: “It is not easy but he is coming with his own experience,” Vasseur said. “But he is not the rookie of the year, I am not worried at all about this. It is also the continuity of the previous regulations so we have some references. I am not worried but it is true it is a challenge.”
Vasseur expects 2025 to be a close battle for the championship between Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes.
Hamilton became the first driver to surpass 100 race wins and pole positions in 2021, finishing runner-up to Max Verstappen amidst a controversial finish.
Following winless campaigns in 2022 and 2023, Hamilton won his record-breaking ninth British Grand Prix victory in 2024 in his 12th and final season with Mercedes.
