Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari has been the subject of ample debate — but some people are confident it'll be a recipe for success.

“Hamilton will have known at Mercedes that the long-term plan was to bring Kimi Antonelli into the team. “I cannot see him quitting before the end of the contract that he has signed, which is at least the end of 2026. “The only scenario where he may quit is if he wins the title and retires as an eight-time world champion.

The incident happened during a three-day test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in the team’s 2023 F1 car.

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he has realized his “dream” after his first official day at Ferrari, promising “a new era” for the team.

Ferrari have confirmed that their 2025 F1 car will be called the SF-25, in line with their last two Scuderia challengers. Lewis Hamilton will debut in scarlet red this year and is set to drive the SF-25 for the first time at the official three-day pre-season test in Bahrain from 26-28 February.

Lewis Hamilton will have a maximum of three races to get up to speed at Ferrari at the start of the F1 2025 season. That is the claim of Sky F1 pundit Martin Brundle, who believes the seven-time World Champion has “already” shown that he is worth a reported $57million salary at Ferrari.

When news emerged on Wednesday that Lewis Hamilton had crashed the 2023 Ferrari car in a private test in Barcelona, the natural response was that his acclimatisation in scarlet red wasn’t quite going according to plan.
