As Ferrari plans to put Lewis Hamilton in one of its old cars as part of its Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) session to get him acquainted with Ferrari machinery

Fred Vasseur has urged his Ferrari team to keep their feet on the ground despite the “excitement” of Lewis Hamilton officially joining the team. After 12 years with Mercedes, seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton officially joined the Scuderia on 1 January ahead of the 2025 season.

But perhaps little did the F1 world expect that at the final race of the season, it would be McLaren and Ferrari fighting it out for the world championship, with Red Bull severely dropping off despite Max Verstappen hanging on to secure a fourth consecutive drivers' world championship.

Lewis Hamilton issues first statement as he embarks on a new journey with Ferrari for the 2025 F1 season, leaving behind a historic tenure at Mercedes.
