Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari Debut Date Officially Confirmed by FIA
The FIA has officially confirmed the date for Lewis Hamilton’s highly anticipated race debut with Ferrari, marking a new chapter in the seven-time Formula 1 world champion’s illustrious career. Following his sensational move to the iconic Italian team, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the sight of Hamilton donning Ferrari’s legendary red racing suit and piloting their renowned car.
Before his first official race, Hamilton will get his initial experience behind the wheel of a Ferrari as part of the team’s Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) programme. This initiative, scheduled to take place later this month, is aimed at familiarizing the British driver with Ferrari’s machinery and operations, ensuring a smooth transition into his new environment.
The season opener for the 2025 Formula 1 calendar, which was recently unveiled by the FIA, will serve as Hamilton’s official race debut with Ferrari. Notably, the opening race of the season has been shifted from Bahrain to Australia, meaning Hamilton will make his first competitive appearance for the Scuderia at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 16.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Hamilton will debut with a new team at Albert Park. Back in 2013, when he joined Mercedes after leaving McLaren, he also had his maiden race at the Melbourne circuit. On that occasion, he qualified in third but finished the race in fifth place, falling short of a podium finish.
This time, Hamilton will be aiming for a stronger start with Ferrari as he seeks to add to his remarkable career achievements. The move to Ferrari has generated significant buzz, as the combination of one of F1’s most successful drivers and its most storied team promises to be a thrilling storyline for the 2025 season.
With pre-season preparations underway and Ferrari’s TPC programme on the horizon, Hamilton’s journey with the Scuderia is officially beginning. Fans and pundits alike will be watching closely to see how quickly the Brit adapts to his new team and whether he can guide Ferrari back to championship glory.
The countdown is now on for March 16, when Hamilton will line up on the Albert Park grid in the iconic red Ferrari, ready to embark on what could be one of the most exciting chapters of his career.
