Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton moved to Italy for his new journey with the Ferrari team. The British driver went to their factory in Maranello, where the Tifosi gave him a hero welcome. He then met with his management, employees, and fans. Hamilton will be testing the Ferrari car in their Fiorano Test track and will also be staying in the house of the founder, Enzo Ferrari.
Lewis Hamilton became the second driver to have the privilege of staying in Enzo Ferrari's house, following the great Michael Schumacher. The 7-time world champion is in the final phase of his career and wanted to end that on a high note as a Ferarri driver. He also believes the Maranello squad can give him the best car and help him win his eighth world championship.

Lewis in Ferrari Red
With this, Hamilton also joins his former boss during his GP2 racing days, Fred Vasseur, who was one of the backbones behind his Formula 1 career. So overall, his Ferrari move is satisfactory for everyone, including his millions of fans who are very excited for the 2025 season. After meeting everyone in the factory, Lewis Hamilton wore the Ferrari suit for the first time in his life. He posted the picture of him in a red Ferrari suit on his social media pages, saying “The First Time in Red.” We go against Toto Wolff's comments because Red suits Lewis Hamilton well.
At the same time, he also rejoins with his former physio at Mercedes Angela Cullen. The New Zealander is like a family to him and there were also some rumours of them going snowboarding together in the Colorado mountains earlier this year. Angela worked with Lewis Hamilton from 2016 to the 2023 season, where he won 4 championships. She is like a lucky star to Lewis so he brings her back to join his new journey with Ferrari.
This season will be the toughest year in the Formula 1's Turbo-Hybrid era. McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull, and Mercedes all look strong and clean. The championship battle will be more fierce, as Max Verstappen will fight for his 5th title, Lewis for his 8th championship, and Lando, Charles, and Oscar for their first world titles.
