Seven-Time Champion Optimistic Ahead of 2025 Season Debut with Ferrari
Maranello, Italy – Lewis Hamilton has expressed his confidence in Ferrari’s potential for the 2025 Formula One season, declaring that there is “magic” within the team as he prepares to embark on his highly anticipated debut with the Scuderia. The seven-time world champion is determined to compete for his eighth title, bringing renewed hope to Ferrari’s championship aspirations.
A New Era with Ferrari
Hamilton, who made the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari in what was one of the most high-profile transfers in F1 history, has wasted no time getting acquainted with his new team. The British driver recently tested Ferrari’s SF-25 at the team’s Fiorano track, alongside teammate Charles Leclerc.
Following the test, Hamilton spoke enthusiastically about the environment at Ferrari, emphasizing the passion, dedication, and determination he has witnessed at the Maranello-based team.
“There is magic here. You can feel the history, the passion, and the relentless pursuit of excellence,” Hamilton stated. “This team is incredibly motivated, and I’m excited about what we can achieve together.”
Ferrari’s Resurgence and Championship Hopes
Ferrari finished second in the 2024 Constructors’ Championship, showing signs of resurgence under the leadership of team principal Frédéric Vasseur. With strong backing from Ferrari chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna, the team has focused on refining its car’s performance, particularly addressing aerodynamic efficiency and race pace consistency—two areas where they lagged behind Red Bull in previous seasons.
Hamilton’s arrival is expected to further strengthen Ferrari’s push for a title, with his experience and racecraft seen as crucial in their efforts to break a 17-year championship drought. The last time Ferrari secured a Drivers’ Championship was in 2007, with Kimi Räikkönen.
