Lewis Hamilton ’s father says his son has “trained like mad” ahead of his debut Ferrari F1 season. The seven-time world champion completed 30 laps of Ferrari’s Fiorano test track on Wednesday as he made his high-profile on-track debut for the Scuderia following his blockbuster move from Mercedes.

Along with his most recent title, Lando Norris, Verstappen will need to fend off the threat of Charles Leclerc and new Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who is looking to mark his first season in red with a historic eighth Drivers’ Championship title.

When news emerged on Wednesday that Lewis Hamilton had crashed the 2023 Ferrari car in a private test in Barcelona, the natural response was that his acclimatisation in scarlet red wasn’t quite going according to plan.

Ferrari have confirmed that their 2025 F1 car will be called the SF-25, in line with their last two Scuderia challengers. Lewis Hamilton will debut in scarlet red this year and is set to drive the SF-25 for the first time at the official three-day pre-season test in Bahrain from 26-28 February.

Lewis Hamilton, now with Ferrari after his move from Mercedes, has shared his first post since a minor crash during testing.

Lewis Hamilton says his first race as a Ferrari driver “can’t come soon enough” with the Briton’s pre-season run in a 2023 SF-23 curtailed when he crashed in testing. Hamilton’s new career path as a Ferrari Formula 1 driver began in earnest last week when the Briton spent time at the team’s Maranello headquarters before climbing into the cockpit of an SF-23 for 30 laps of the Fiorano circuit.
