Lewis Hamilton's Move to Ferrari

After 12 years at Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton is now a Ferrari driver. This is a look at what his first few months with the team will look like.

First Ferrari Drive

The exact date and location of Hamilton's first outing in a Ferrari have not been set, but it will likely be before the preseason test in Bahrain.

2025 Car Launch

Ferrari's 2025 car will be launched at the team's base in Maranello, following the F1 season launch event in London.

Up to Speed

Vasseur is confident Hamilton will be up to speed quickly, and that he will have a better environment in 2025 than he did at Mercedes in 2024.

Convincing Hamilton

Vasseur says it was not difficult to convince Hamilton to make the switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for 2025.

Managing Rivalry

Managing expectations and setting boundaries between Hamilton and Leclerc will be a challenge, but Vasseur believes the two drivers will push each other to be better.

Engineering Team

Riccardo Adami is tipped to remain as Hamilton's race engineer, but Vasseur was reluctant to confirm details of the exact engineering team.

Moving to Italy

There is no pressure on Hamilton to move closer to the factory, as the race schedule means the drivers are away for large parts of the year.
