Lewis Hamilton Issues Statement Ahead of Ferrari Debut as Scuderia Announces Big Moves
Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is gearing up for a new chapter in his illustrious career as he prepares to make his highly anticipated debut with Ferrari. The British driver, who recently celebrated his 40th birthday on January 7, will step into the iconic red Ferrari machinery later this month as part of the team’s Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) program. This will mark his first time driving for the Italian outfit.
Hamilton’s first official outing in Ferrari’s 2025 car is scheduled to take place during pre-season testing in Bahrain in February. He will then make his race debut for the Scuderia at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, the season-opening event in March.
As the oldest driver to join Ferrari in recent years, Hamilton remains unfazed by age, showing no signs of slowing down. His latest statement, shared on Instagram, reflects his determination and readiness for the challenges ahead. Posting a photo of himself snowboarding, Hamilton gave fans a glimpse into his off-season training regime. “Another one around the sun,” he captioned. “Thanks for all the birthday love. Hard at work already. Talk soon ✌🏽.”
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari marks a new chapter in a career that began in 2007 when he debuted as a 22-year-old with McLaren. He claimed his first world title just a year later in 2008, becoming the youngest world champion at the time. Now, at 40, Hamilton joins a distinguished group of veteran drivers, including his former rival and current grid elder statesman Fernando Alonso, who turns 44 in July.
The upcoming season is set to be one of the most thrilling in recent memory, with Hamilton aiming to bring Ferrari its first drivers’ championship since Kimi Räikkönen’s triumph in 2007. The Scuderia’s loyal fanbase, known as the Tifosi, will be watching eagerly as Hamilton teams up with Ferrari to challenge the dominance of Red Bull and Max Verstappen.
With pre-season testing just weeks away, all eyes are on Hamilton and Ferrari as they begin their quest for glory in 2025. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how the seven-time champion adapts to his new team and car as he continues to defy age and chase history.
