Lewis Hamilton is gearing up for a new chapter in his legendary Formula 1 career, calling his Ferrari debut “the most exciting period of my life.” As he prepares to hit the track in the iconic red suit at this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix, the seven-time world champion is embracing both the thrill and the challenges ahead.
After 12 years with Mercedes, Hamilton officially joined Scuderia Ferrari in January and completed 162 laps of testing in Bahrain. Despite the buzz surrounding his move, he remains grounded, acknowledging that it will take time to fully adapt to his new car.
A Fresh Start, A New Challenge
I’m itching to get going. It’s been a long time coming.
This car is very different from what I’ve driven before—new power, new feel, a whole new way of working.
The transition period is real, but I know what I can deliver.
Ferrari hasn’t won a Constructors’ Championship since 2008, and Kimi Räikkönen was their last drivers’ champion in 2007. While expectations are high, Hamilton is focused on building trust with the team and setting a strong foundation for success.
What’s the Goal for Melbourne?
Hamilton isn’t making bold predictions but remains committed to pushing himself:
I just want to walk away knowing I gave it everything.
The sooner we start delivering results, the better.
As the new F1 season kicks off, all eyes are on Hamilton and Ferrari. Will this partnership bring back championship glory?
