Lewis Hamilton Joins Ferrari: “Back in the Game” with a “Beautiful” Message
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, is officially “back in the game” as he begins his journey with Ferrari for the 2025 season. Ferrari’s CEO, Benedetto Vigna, described Hamilton’s transition as inspiring and praised the message the driver shared to mark the new chapter in his career.
After a remarkable stint at Mercedes, where he secured six of his seven World Championships and became the first driver to surpass 100 race wins and pole positions, Hamilton announced his decision to join Ferrari nearly a year ago. His Mercedes contract officially ended on December 31, 2024, and on January 1, 2025, Hamilton updated his LinkedIn profile to reflect his new role: F1 Driver: Ferrari.
To commemorate the start of his Ferrari career, Hamilton posted a motivational message on LinkedIn, emphasizing the value of embracing change and reinvention. He wrote, “I could not be more excited for the year ahead. 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 taking on new challenges, remember that reinvention is powerful. Your next opportunity is always within reach.”
Hamilton concluded the post with a rallying cry, “Here’s to 2025—a year of embracing new opportunities, staying hungry, and driving forward with purpose. Let’s make it one to remember. Andiamo!” (Italian for “let’s go”).
Vigna described the message as “powerful” and reflective of Hamilton’s readiness to embrace a new culture and challenge himself at this stage of his career. “There is excitement, a great desire to start, to face the tests. Change is always important, and Hamilton has put himself back into the game,” Vigna commented.
Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari marks a significant shift in his illustrious career. Despite dominating F1 during his years with Mercedes, the team has struggled to adapt to ground-effect regulations introduced in 2022, resulting in just two race wins for Hamilton over the past three seasons.
Now, at 40, Hamilton is set to begin testing with Ferrari on Monday, bringing experience, determination, and a fresh outlook to one of the most iconic teams in Formula 1 history. Fans and experts alike are eager to see how this bold move will shape the 2025 season.
