PARIS-21 JAN - Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton officially began his journey with Ferrari on Monday, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career. The 40-year-old, who surprised the racing world last February by leaving Mercedes after 12 years, expressed his excitement about joining the iconic team. At Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters, Hamilton appeared in a sharp dark suit and tie, posing in front of Enzo Ferrari’s former home before meeting team boss Frederic Vasseur, managing director Benedetto Vigna, and his new track engineer, Riccardo Adami. Reflecting on the moment, Hamilton described it as a day he would always remember and shared his determination to deliver results for the team, his colleagues, and the fans.

Hamilton will partner Charles Leclerc as they aim to secure Ferrari’s first drivers’ championship title since Kimi Raikkonen’s triumph in 2007. The British driver shared his long-standing dream of racing in red and vowed to dedicate himself fully to achieving success with the Scuderia. On Wednesday, Hamilton will get behind the wheel of a Ferrari F1 car for the first time at the Fiorano circuit, where he will test the 2022 model with a 1,000-kilometre limit. Fans eagerly await this new partnership, hoping it signals a return to glory for the historic team.
