From Mercedes to Maranello: Hamilton Realizes His Ferrari Dream

by | Jan 22, 2025

Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula One world champion, marked a historic milestone on his first official day as a Ferrari driver. The 40-year-old, who shocked the motorsport world by leaving Mercedes after 12 successful years, has fulfilled a lifelong dream of racing for the iconic Italian team.

Hamilton spent Monday at Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello, Italy, where he met team members, posed for photos with a Ferrari F40 supercar, and reflected on the significance of this new chapter. Dressed in a sharp black suit, Hamilton shared his excitement on Instagram, describing the day as one he would “remember forever.”

“There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever, and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days,” Hamilton wrote. “Part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realize that dream today.”

Hamilton’s move to Ferrari came after a stellar career at Mercedes, where he won six of his seven world titles and cemented his legacy alongside greats like Michael Schumacher. Speaking about his departure, Hamilton expressed gratitude for his time at Mercedes, emphasizing the history and friendships forged during his tenure.

Now partnered with Charles Leclerc, Hamilton’s arrival signals a new era for Ferrari as they aim to secure their first driver’s championship since 2007. Fans and teammates alike are optimistic about what the combination of Hamilton’s expertise and Ferrari’s resources could achieve. “I’m dedicated to bringing everything I have to deliver for the team, the wider organization, and the fans,” Hamilton stated.

The 2025 season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix on March 16, following pre-season testing in Bahrain from February 26-28. As Hamilton dons Ferrari red, the stage is set for one of the most anticipated seasons in recent Formula One history.
