Lewis Hamilton has made a $300,000 switch after his latest Ferrari change has been revealed. The Formula 1 champion’s arrival at the Scuderia saw the team execute a stunning social media campaign, as they drip-fed the stages of Hamilton’s arrival over the course of his debut week.

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton says he has realized his “dream” after his first official day at Ferrari, promising “a new era” for the team.

It was this kind of wonder that Hamilton, a seven-time world champion who has seen and won it all in Formula One, sought when he decided to move to Ferrari. For all the success he enjoyed with Mercedes, nothing could match the history and the magic of F1’s most iconic team.

"Today we start a new era in the history of this iconic team, and I can’t wait to see what story we will write together," Hamilton said.

Hamilton ended his 12-year partnership with Mercedes at the end of the 2024 campaign. On the final lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, he overtook team-mate George Russell to record a fourth-place finish in his final start for the Brackley-based constructor.

On Wednesday, Hamilton will hit the track, driving either Ferrari’s 2022 or 2023 car at the Fiorano circuit. He is then set to drive in Spain at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya – home of the Spanish Grand Prix – next week, before heading to nearby Jerez for a Pirelli tyre test.

Lewis Hamilton hailed the start of “a new era” for Ferrari after clocking on at the factory in Maranello on his first day with his new team.
