Hamilton’s Ferrari to be Featured in FIA Technical Display at Monaco GP

Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari SF-25 has been chosen by the FIA to participate in a technical presentation during the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix weekend. According to an official FIA document, Hamilton’s car is one of three selected for the event, alongside Oscar Piastri’s McLaren and Carlos Sainz’s Williams. These selections are part of a routine process where a single car from each team is picked for a closer public inspection by the media and paddock personnel.

This technical display is held at every Grand Prix and is designed to offer journalists, engineers, and technical observers a chance to examine various aspects of the selected cars. These include upgrades, aerodynamic features, and design innovations that teams have brought to the track. With Monaco’s tight, historic street circuit as the backdrop, this particular showcase is expected to attract significant attention—especially with Hamilton’s Ferrari included.

The 2025 Monaco GP could also be affected by weather, as forecasts predict possible rain on both Friday and Saturday. The FIA has acknowledged the situation and confirmed that any changes to the display schedule due to weather will be communicated to teams at least five minutes before the event. If necessary, the cars may be shown inside the team garages rather than in the open-air pit lane. During active rain, teams are allowed to use awnings or protective covers while still keeping the cars in position for observation.

This procedure goes beyond simply giving fans and journalists a closer look. It also serves a regulatory and competitive function. If a team introduces new parts or updates and fits them to only one of their cars, that specific car must be the one displayed. This policy ensures transparency among teams and allows others in the paddock to observe developments first-hand, promoting fairness and technical accountability.

Ferrari enters the Monaco weekend with increased interest, having recently introduced significant updates at the Imola Grand Prix, marking the start of the European season. Despite these changes, neither Hamilton nor his teammate Charles Leclerc managed to secure a win in Italy, highlighting the ongoing challenge Ferrari faces in catching up to front-runners like Red Bull and McLaren.

Hamilton’s inclusion in the display adds even more intrigue. His high-profile switch to Ferrari from Mercedes at the beginning of 2025 brought with it massive media attention and renewed expectations for the Scuderia. His presence has added prestige and scrutiny to Ferrari’s garage, and now, with his car featured in this technical showcase, interest in the team’s development path will only grow.

As the Monaco Grand Prix approaches, the combination of possible weather disruptions, fierce competition, and the opportunity to inspect Hamilton’s updated Ferrari makes this technical presentation one of the most anticipated moments of the weekend. For Hamilton, Ferrari, and their fans, it’s another step in their journey to reclaim a spot at the top of the podium.
