Scuderia Ferrari’s new signing Lewis Hamilton says he can’t wait to see what story he and the Prancing Horse write together.
The Englishman, a seven-time Formula One world champion and the most successful driver in Formula One history joins Charles Leclerc from 2025.
The 2025 season will be the first time in his career that Lewis Hamilton has raced with an engine other than a Mercedes.
Speaking during his first day at Fiorano, Hamilton said:
There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever and today, my first as a Scuderia Ferrari HP driver, is one of those days. I’ve been lucky enough to have achieved things in my career I never thought possible, but part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realise that dream today.
I’m incredibly grateful to John Elkann, Benedetto Vigna, Fred Vasseur and everyone at Ferrari for their trust in me and making me part of this family. I’m so excited to start this new era and to meet and work with a hugely talented and inspiring group of people. I’m dedicated to bringing everything I have to deliver for the team, the wider organisation and the fans.
Today we start a new chapter in the history of this iconic team, and I can’t wait to see what story we will write together.
