The 2025 Formula 1 season's racing outfits were presented by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton around a week ago in a dazzling film that featured the new overalls. A Behind the Scenes film that the Scuderia uploaded online, however, claims that things did not go very well for Charles Leclerc. The video showed Leclerc tearing his racing suit.
The Monegasque at least had a solid justifying reason. A video of the team's new race outfit photo session was made public by Ferrari on Friday morning. Leclerc's race suit was torn in the video, revealing a wardrobe malfunction. "I cracked it." But Leclerc had a reasonable explanation after some consideration. "I ate too much during the winter break! Well, the racing suits used during the photo shoot are tighter, so we look a bit fitter," explained the Monegasque driver.

Next month marks the start of the 2025 season, and Formula 1 teams are already getting ready for it. Due to the arrival of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari has been in the news a lot these past few weeks. With hundreds of fans lining up at the Fiorano track to watch the former Mercedes driver in action and countless fervent supporters lining up in the streets when he initially arrived in Maranello, the 40-year-old's debut in Italy was quite an occasion.
After leaving Mercedes for 12 years Lewis Hamilton got his first chance to drive Ferrari in Barcelona. In Barcelona, he crashed the SF-23 during a preseason TPC test. This incident affected Leclerc's important preseason preparations and threw off the team's scheduled testing schedule. To compensate for the time missed, Ferrari made sure Leclerc had more practice before the season started by scheduling extra time for him during a Pirelli tyre testing session.
Was a very special day for the team - Charles Leclerc on seeing Lewis Hamilton
Upon initially spotting Hamilton in a Ferrari, his teammate Leclerc said, "Back living the dream. So good to be driving again and to see all the tifosi at the track. "Was a very special day for the team and Lewis as well and was really happy to be there to see it. Can’t wait to get this season started."
The first race of the 2025 F1 season will be interesting for Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari. Ferrari will put on a tough show at the Australian GP with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in the team. Before the first race, there will be an F1 75 event taking place at O2 Arena in London where all the ten teams' drivers and cars will be revealed. Following that pre-season testing will take place on 26 February onwards.
