All Formula 1 fans around the world have been waiting for this moment since February 2024. That day, the world learned that Lewis Hamilton was going to leave Mercedes at the end of 2024 to join Ferrari. And on this first day of 2025, it’s official, the British driver, seven times world champion, is a driver from the most prestigious team.
The scuderia and Hamilton communicated almost at the same time on social networks.
The Briton published a photo of himself as a child, when he was starting out in karting. On his machine, there was already his legendary No. 44, but Hamilton does not want to forget that his helmet was red. Red like Ferrari, a team he always dreamed of joining.
He also attached an emoji of a small formula 1… red.
For its part, the prancing horse brand played the youth card by publishing a search on the networks concerning the most successful driver in history with the German Michael Schumacher. As we travel, we discover images of Hamilton and a link to his dog, Roscoe. Ferrari has forgotten nothing of the legend and sends him a very sober “Welcome to the family”.
For fans, all that remains is to wait for the moment when Lewis Hamilton shows up in a red suit for the first time. An image that will quickly go around the world.
