Ferrari issue official team statement in HUGE Hamilton car update

Ferrari has officially announced the name of the car that Lewis Hamilton will drive in the 2025 Formula 1 season. The seven-time world champion, who is set to join Ferrari for the upcoming season, has not yet driven the team’s 2025 car. Instead, Hamilton has been getting familiar with the SF-23 and SF-24 models during testing. Alongside his new teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton has been testing these older Ferrari cars at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. However, Hamilton’s testing was marred by a crash with the SF-23 on Tuesday, which forced the team to halt further running for the day.

Fans eager to see Hamilton in the 2025 Ferrari challenger will have to wait until pre-season testing in Bahrain, which is scheduled for February 26-28. It is during this testing period that Hamilton and Leclerc will first drive the new car, giving fans their first glimpse of Ferrari’s 2025 contender.

Ferrari recently teased the name of their new car on social media with a post captioned ‘New year, New name’. The team revealed that the 2025 car will be called the SF-25, following the naming convention established by its predecessors, the SF-23 and SF-24. This marks the continuation of the team’s SF (Scuderia Ferrari) series of cars.

The SF-25’s full livery will be unveiled at a live event during F1’s official launch event at the O2 arena in London on February 18, where all 10 teams will reveal their new cars for the season. The event will be part of the celebrations for Formula 1’s 75th anniversary. The following day, on February 19, Ferrari will hold their own official team launch at their private Fiorano track, where they will showcase the SF-25 in full detail.

Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has been one of the most talked-about transfers in recent F1 history. As one of the most successful drivers in the sport’s history, his switch to Ferrari marks the start of a new chapter in his career. His presence in the team is expected to bring new energy and perspective to Ferrari as they look to challenge for the title in 2025.

While Ferrari has made significant strides in recent seasons, the 2025 season could be pivotal for the team, with Hamilton and Leclerc forming a strong driver pairing. The team will be hoping that the SF-25 will bring them closer to the top of the grid and help them compete with dominant teams like Red Bull.

For now, F1 fans eagerly await the upcoming launches and the first opportunity to see Hamilton and Leclerc in action with Ferrari. The pre-season testing in Bahrain will provide an exciting preview of what’s to come for the 2025 season.
