From 1/1/2025 Lewis Hamilton became a Ferrari driver.
The Ferrari media team released a very clever post.
Note the time it was posted. 16.44. 16 is Charles Leclerc's race number and 44 is Lewis Hamiltons number. (they are now team mates). Interesting to note that Mercedes have lost just under a million followers and Ferrari have gained over a million.
With all his farewell commitments to Mercedes, Lewis has not tested in last years Ferrari. (All new drivers did a test run in Abu Dhabi.) It's understood, he will be testing in Marinello, Italy, later this month.
A lot to learn. New car, new steering wheel, new team, new race engineer and new language.
Personally, I'm not expecting him to do that well initially. Only time will tell.
* F1 live at the O2 Arena London. February
* Pre- Season Testing in Bahrain 26th-28th February.
* 1st Race - Australia Friday March 14th-Sunday 16th March.

This year sees 5 new Rookies on the Grid
Driver line up.
1 Antonelli - Mercedes
2 Doohan - Alpine
3 Hadjar- RB
4 Bearman - Haas
5 Bortoleto- Kick Sauber.
Liam Lawson has replaced Checo Perez at Red Bull Racing. He will partner Max Verstappen (poor kid!!) 😂
NB. Liam Lawson should be classed as a rookie as he only took part in 7 races last year when he replaced Daniel Ricciardo at RB.

Not the best name for an F1 driver, Stroll, I'd've thought 😂

Lance Stroll is one of the worst on the grid @pgn. Only there as his Dad owns the team. Lawrence Stroll is a billionaire and one of the richest men in Canada. Terrible state of affairs when you can buy your son a seat in F1. Particularly when you realise the struggles Anthony Hamilton had (working 4/5 jobs) to help Lewis get his chance.
