Ferrari confirm OFFICIAL Leclerc change after Hamilton arrival
Ferrari have officially confirmed a significant change for Charles Leclerc in 2025, following the arrival of seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton at the Scuderia. Hamilton made his debut at Ferrari last week, with the team sharing photos of his tour of their Maranello headquarters and his first test with the team. Despite the excitement surrounding Hamilton’s arrival, one thing stood out: there were no pictures of him alongside Leclerc.
Leclerc, who has been with Ferrari since 2019, has previously expressed enthusiasm about the prospect of racing alongside the British legend. At 27, Leclerc looks forward to the competitive challenge and the dynamic that will emerge between the two drivers as teammates. This change marks a significant new chapter for Ferrari, with both drivers now preparing for their first season together.
Ferrari has now released official images of Leclerc and Hamilton in their 2025 race suits, offering a glimpse of the future team lineup. These images also revealed a major design update for Leclerc’s helmet. While it still retains the familiar white and red color scheme, which is a hallmark of Ferrari’s brand, the new helmet design incorporates Ferrari’s new sponsors and a deeper, more intense shade of red, which will match the color of the team’s 2025 car. This update reflects the ongoing evolution of Ferrari’s partnership with its sponsors and the changing aesthetic of the team.
Hamilton, known for his iconic helmet designs, has also made a change for 2025. The British driver has opted to return to the yellow helmet design that he used during his early years with McLaren and Mercedes, adding a nostalgic touch to his appearance as he embarks on this new chapter with Ferrari. The choice is likely to resonate with fans who have followed Hamilton’s illustrious career, as the yellow helmet is seen as a symbol of his early success in Formula 1.
Both drivers are set to hit the track together at the end of January as part of the Testing of a Previous Car’s programme. They will be testing at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on January 28, 29, and 30. This will be the first time they will be driving together on track for Ferrari, offering a first glimpse of how the pair might work as teammates in 2025.
The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Ferrari, with the combination of Leclerc’s youthful energy and Hamilton’s vast experience creating an intriguing driver lineup. Fans are eagerly awaiting how the two drivers will collaborate and challenge each other as Ferrari looks to make significant strides on the Formula 1 grid in 2025.
