Lewis Hamilton drove a Ferrari Formula 1 car for the first time and described it as “one of the best feelings of my life.”

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 Scuderia Ferrari announced on February 1, 2024 that Lewis Hamilton would join their Formula 1 team in 2025, the F1 world was turned on its head. Now, after arriving in Maranello, Italy earlier this week, the brand has offered up a first look at the end result: Hamilton behind the wheel of a Ferrari F1 car.

Ferrari vice-chairman Piero Ferrari said there is “excitement” within the team about Lewis Hamilton arriving for F1 2025 and the “first approach was very nice with everyone” at Maranello. Hamilton made his first factory visit as an official Ferrari driver almost a fortnight ago before taking part in the Scuderia’s annual ‘wake-up’ test at Fiorano a couple of days later.

Lewis Hamilton was leaving Mercedes at the end of the 2024 Formula 1 season for Ferrari. My colleague James Dator — a brilliant writer who is also a massive F1 fan — shared in our internal communications system this post from Sky Sports well before most had woken up: BREAKING: Lewis Hamilton will join Ferrari for the 2025 season pic.

It seems as though Lewis Hamilton might still be figuring out his footing at Ferrari's testing days. At least, based on the fact that the seven-time Formula 1 champion crashed during his second test day with the team, while testing in Spain.
