Lewis Hamilton says he is “empowered” for his first campaign with Ferrari after making his first official public at a F1 event at the beginning of the Sports season on Tuesday.
Hamilton was given the biggest night’s joy in London’s O2 Arena when he came up with the new teammate Charles Leclerc and team director Frederic Vasseur while F1 2025 Ferrari lives.
Ferrari will develop their launch Wednesday on their Fiorano test path, as the SF-25 develops a shakedown in the hands of Hamilton and Leclerc.
“The word I think about is enlivened because I feel so full of life and so full of energy because everything is new,” Hamilton said in F1 75 live.
“(I am) just focused on what is ahead. I’m very proud to be part of the team, so young and exciting for me.”
Hamilton’s transition to Ferrari is the largest in F1 history as he continues his search for an eighth world record title.
If the field is as close as expected, the 40-year-old may have a car capable of fighting for victory, and therefore the championship this year.
A better indicator of the Peking Order will be seen in the pre-season test in Bahrain on February 26-28, directly Sky Sports F1.
