Lewis Hamilton says he is “exactly where I am supposed to be” after a first emotional day on the right track in Ferrari’s new car.

After the launch of the Formula 1 season of the previous night in London, Hamilton took the wheel of the new Ferrari SF-25 on Wednesday for the first time on the team’s Fiorano test track.

Thousands of fans – the most dressed in Ferrari Red – had gathered in front of the fences surrounding the track to have an overview of their new hero.

Some even cut a tree for a better view.

Invited to choose a word to describe the sensations of the day, Hamilton had trouble at the start, but he insisted that he wanted to do better than the suggestion of “very well”, before setting up on “emotional” .

“Of course, I have seen from the outside Ferrari over the years, drivers over the years and how they have been received by their fans,” the tifosi “, said Hamilton.

“But I think that when you are there, it’s something more special than you can imagine. You cannot know until you get there and experience it. And it was really beautiful to see.

Hamilton, 40, shocked the world of motorsport last year when he announced that he was leaving Mercedes to join Ferrari.

The British driver had been at Mercedes for 11 years and won six of his seven titles with the Arrows Silver.

“We know that we have a lot of work to do, I know that I have a lot of work to do. I still acclimatize, I have only been here for a little over a month, “said Hamilton. “So I acclimatize to a completely new car, completely new to work.

“But everyone looked back in this team to make me feel welcome. And I really feel at home. I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. It’s natural. It feels good.

Hamilton will line up alongside Charles Leclerc, who has been in Ferrari since 2019.

The Leclerc, 27, said that it was already “the best team mentality” that he felt in his time at the Italian Scuderia.

“I have already worked with two winning teams in the world championship,” said Hamilton. “I know what a winning team looks like.

“The passion here is not like nothing you have seen. They have absolutely all the ingredients they need to win a world championship. And it is simply a question of gathering all the pieces.

However, Ferrari did not win the title of pilot from Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.

Leclerc finished second in 2022 and finished third last year after finishing the season with three podiums in the last four races while Ferrari began to show signs of being able to face Red Bull.

Hamilton knows that the expectations of him are Sky High.

“This step is enormous, it could not be bigger,” he said. You don’t want to drop people, you want to be able to deliver on your word. So how I decided to arrive this year, my resolution, my mentality is that I have to raise absolutely in all areas on my side.

“This is not only that I am and that I have just gelled, I have to raise in everything: my physical form, my time management, how I engage with my engineers, how long I spend in The factory, all these different things. And I definitely did that and I do that. And I will continue to do it in this effort for perfection and to succeed in the success I have to achieve. »»

The last Hamilton championship took place in 2020 and it rose to an eighth record title of the final of the 2021 season until a controversial finish gave the title to Max Verstappen, which has since won four consecutive titles with Red Bull.

If Hamilton wins this eighth elusive championship this season, he will become the third oldest F1 champion.

“If I had the chance to win another title, which is obviously what we propose to do, I do not see myself stopping,” said Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton insists that Ferrari’s F1 car is “nothing like this” his previous cars for Mercedes and McLaren while the Scuderia published the British’s first official interview with the team.

Hamilton joined the legendary Italian outfit after 18 seasons – 12 with Mercedes, six with McLaren – to be propelled by Mercedes power units.

As such, a passage to Ferrari represents something completely different, with a new chassis and a new engine. After testing the Ferrari 2023 car on January 22 in Fiorano, the seven times world champion spoke with shine his first experience in the scarlet red cockpit.

“It doesn’t look like the car I had before 10, 12, 17 years old,” said Hamilton, in his first official interview in Ferrari Colors.

“It is unique in itself. To feel the vibration of the Ferrari engine for the first time, wow! This is what I think I finally put the biggest smile on my face.

“I had always seen all the pilots who had preceded me in red and what it would look like me, and it is a real honor to wear this badge and this costume. I hope I go out and make it look good.

Hamilton also thought about his first days for the team, which included a delighted reception of Ferrari HQ staff and fans in Maranello.

“There is only a handful of special times in life,” he said.

“The first kiss, the first meeting, the first time, the first time in work. Honestly, I thought I had all my first and nothing was ever going to be new.

“I have run for so long … and even I am surprised to see how much I still like what I do and I felt so new.”

Wednesday, Hamilton led this year’s car, the SF-25, for the first time in Fiorano. He should speak to the media later during the day.

The British driver was unveiled in Ferrari Red in a home crowd at F1 75 Lond in London on Tuesday evening, alongside his teammate Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton’s next foray into the SF-25 will be at the official pre-season test next week in Bahrain. The first race of the season takes place in Australia on March 16.

Australia will host the opening race of the Formula 1 season this year – without any new race on the calendar.

This means that Lewis Hamilton will make his debut for Ferrari in Albert Park in Melbourne, who organized the first race for the last time in 2019 after Cavid paid for the 2020 opener.

Australia will organize the first race of the season on Sunday March 16 – two weeks later than the start date of 2024.

Bahrain has organized the first race of the season since 2021, after pre-season tests on the same track in Sakhir, but moved in April because of Ramadan.

Arabia has also moved in April, China and Japan that has been spending a month in two and three races respectively.

The other changes to the calendar include a triple head in April between Japan-Bahrain-Saudi, while Spain advanced three weeks until the end of May / early June.

Belgium and Hungary have also exchanged weekends, Budapest now welcoming the last race before the usual summer holidays.

Carlos Sainz opted against the name Lewis Hamilton among his choices for the F1 title of 2025.

Hamilton replaced Sainz in Ferrari for the 2025 season after 12 years and six titles with Mercedes, while the Spanish pilot opted for a long -term project in Williams.

With Sainz who fights against the first 10 instead of podiums this year, the 30 -year -old was invited by Spanish Motorsport Outlet Somotor Who are his contenders for the title of this year’s pilots.

Questioned between the reigning world champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull, Lando Norris of McLaren and Charles Leclerc de Ferrari, Sainz replied: “I think it will be between these first three that you said.

“If Mercedes made a good car, I would put [George] Russell too. I think it is a very good level. Any of them can fight this year. »»

Last week, during the launch of Williams cars in 2025 in Silverstone, Sainz admitted that the chances of Ferrari of a first pilot title in 18 years had increased only with the arrival of Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen was the last Scuderia champion, back in the recruit of Hamilton in 2007.

“I have never been teammates with Lewis, so I don’t know what he is able to do, I have never seen his data,” said Sainz.

“I saw Charles [Leclerc] And I know how good Charles is, but I have never been teammates with Lewis. And the only way you can more or less assess a driver is when you are their teammate and you see what they are able to do.

“When I judge by the results and its history and what he has accomplished, I can only say that there is very great chances that he is obviously competitive in Ferrari.

“But like everything, everything will depend on how you can adapt to a car, how much you can adapt to a team and when your teammate is.

“There are so many variables that it is impossible for me to predict.

“I can only say when I left Ferrari, I felt that the team – Ferrari and Charles – were ready to fight for a world championship. And with Lewis joining, this chance only increased. »»

Ferrari launches his 2025 car on Wednesday in Fiorano, a day from Hamilton and Leclerc appearing in Ferrari Colors during the launch event of the season at Haut October, F1 75 Live, at the O2 Arena in London.

The 2025 F1 season begins on March 16 in Australia, with pre-season tests in Bahrain which take place next week, February 26-28.

Jack Whitehall could not have summarized it better. “I can hear the purists already moaning,” said the actor and the friend for the evening joked during his accommodation of “F1 75 Live” at the O2.

He was not wrong. Formula 1 has seen a colorful team starting in the years. The Spice Girls have an overview of the salaries of David Coulthard at the Alexandra Palace in London in 1997. Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso paraded in front of 250,000 fans at the back of the Mercedes SL55 in Valence in 2007. Honda “Earth Car” by Jenson Button’s Mild-Fated by Jenson Button “that same year. The list continues.

But it had never seen anything like this. No matter the purists. The sight of Flavio Briatore, a man who once ordered a driver to crash on purpose, looking at time while Brian Tyler (no, me neither) did what F1 described Like “an immersive audio-visual experience like his alter-ego, are we dream”, will live in memory for a long time. The latest F1 foray into the new courageous world of social media and American salons was F1 for the Netflix generation. Influencers, popstars, lived live, celebrities. Very few cars.

The teams had seven minutes each to launch their new deliveries. But most of this time was taken up by light shows, live music or video montages they had filmed earlier. The Aston Martin pilots arrived adapted and started on the melody of the Bond theme.

When the show sometimes made a head of the sport – it was an event to celebrate 75 years of F1 after all – it was rather incongruous. Video editing from Williams from Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill and Al, with Murray Walker commenting for example. The nights like this, the sport of Mansell and Piquet, Prost and Senna, looks like a distant memory, not to mention Moss and Fangio.

In justice in F1, it was not a show for purists. It was without shame for the new F1 subscribers, for the Survive Fans, especially those of the United States, which have become absorbed by the F1 soap, in what Lewis Hamilton carries and who carries Lando Norris.

Some of Whitehall’s gags landed better than others. He had fun taking out the mickey from Max Verstappen, who had not made any secrets earlier in the day that he prefers to be anywhere in the world but the O2.

Like Christian Horner, its director of the Red Bull team, Verstappen received a handful of hoots from the live public.

The host of the show also had fun in the sense of fashion of Lewis Hamilton (“Peacocker his way through the dressed paddock like a Fortnite Character “), the idol in the morning of Charles Leclerc looks (” the man my wife imagines when we make love. Hell, the man I imagine when we make love “) and The name of Mike Krack (who knows, maybe we will see Mike Krack later “, Boom Boom). But the funniest moment of the evening was probably involuntary – the director of the Williams team, James Vowles, launching a little by the great introduction of Whitehall and delimiting on stage with a “good evening, London!” As if he were a professional media threshing man.

They know what they are doing, however, the American owners of F1 Liberty Media. Formula 1 is booming and events like this will only add to its growth. F1 75 sold in 20 minutes, the 16,000 tickets, which were originally between £ 58 and 113, but which changed hands for more than £ 600 on resale sites in the hours preceding the launch. The F1 could probably have been able to sell the Wembley stadium. Maybe they will do it next year.

Formula 1 announced on arrival that his YouTube channel had attracted an audience of a peak of 1.1 million simultaneous viewers on F1 YouTube alone, and 4.6 million viewers in total on Youtube through live broadcast. Its highest live event ever high was 289,000 in Peak.

If they will look again next year is another matter. The live comments on YouTube were hilarious. Many of them were “Dérfest!”, “WTF”, “enough with the machine gun Kelly, I’m only there for cars”. But there were also those who praised F1 for calling for a younger demography and for having gathered the 10 teams and 20 pilots together for a night for fans.

And it is ultimately that Liberty tries to appeal. Not for F1 purists, cynical journalists, nor jaded drivers. These kinds of events, and breeds such as Las Vegas, that F1 also promotes, is what Liberty wants more; Light shows, live music, celebrities. Like it or not, it seems to work. There are a lot of sports that would sell their souls to exploit the F1 public.

“I mean, look where we are,” Horner told journalists earlier during the day. “We are launching 10 O2 teams. If you tried it 10 years ago, I don’t think you would have had some some of the teams south of the river. But sport is in a different place now. Twenty-four races, three American races. Take these skeptics.

The FIA ​​announced Tuesday that F1 was planning to increase the quantity of stand stops at the Monaco Grand Prix this year.

The famous race in the streets of the Principality is regularly criticized for its lack of overcoming opportunities, with the labeling Max Verstappen of Red Bull last year as “boring” – with the top 10 which does not change at all ‘Order since the start of the race at the end.

Consequently, after a meeting of the F1 committee Tuesday morning in London, it was agreed that the number of stand stops (one) per driver was to be increased. No other details have been given.

A FIA declaration read: “With the aim of promoting better races at the Monaco Grand Prix, the Commission discussed proposals for specific regulations in Monaco.

“The Commission has agreed to increase the number of compulsory stand stops in the race.

“These proposals will be discussed in more detail by the sports advisory committee in the coming weeks.”

Charles Leclerc won his home race last year but due to an early red flag – allowing all pilots to change tires and make a compulsory change of tires – the order of the top 10 does not have exchange.

With a single DRS zone on the main straight line, the overtaking is almost impossible around the tight twists and turns of Monaco.

Verstappen, who finished sixth and could not tighten his Red Bull ahead of George Russell in front, said on the radio: “F *** me, it’s really boring … I should have brought my pillow” .

He added later: “Over the whole, the weekend is really cool, just Sunday is a little boring unfortunately, but the landscape is always great,” said Verstappen.

“If we can find a way to run a little better, why not? It would be my favorite solution.”

Lewis Hamilton also said about last year’s race: “It was not obvious. Everyone drives so slowly. So, no matter the tire on which you were. We chase a few seconds of the rhythm.

“I don’t know what it was to look at, but I’m sure people fell asleep.”

This year’s Monaco GP will take place on May 23 to 25.

Straking in front of 20,000 euphoric British fans, sporting the combinations of Ferrari red breed, Lewis Hamilton placed a lonely finger in his ear and radiated.

Entering season 19 in Formula 1, the 40 -year -old knows that he is now still the star of the show. And Tuesday evening at F1 75 Live, because F1 tried an event as Razzle Dazzle that he was experimental in a nod to his 75th anniversary, the greatest transfer in the history of sport was certain that their very rolling london bet appeared large.

And here is the thing: Hamilton likes a bridge. Each morning, when he enters the Paddock of Formula One, carrying a high-end outfit of his extravagant wardrobe, the spectators stop and look. And in the middle of two hours, 10 teams and 20 pilots on stage at O2 Arena in eastern London, there was no doubt that the crowd had come to see. Perhaps the only disappointment was that the only statements of the seven times world champion came and entered in less than half a minute. In a frustrating way, there was a tight schedule to follow.

“The word I think [for this season] is invigorated, “he said. “I feel so full of life, I have so much energy because everything is new. I focus on what awaits us and so proud to be part of this team. »»

But although there was no doubt of Hamilton’s popularity notes in the last chances of sport and F1 showbiz, Christian Horner could not help laughing while the Boss Red Bull entered stage A Morve choir.

F1 fans will remember that 12 months ago, the boss of Max Verstappen was the subject of an investigation by an employee for “inappropriate behavior”. The complaint was rejected, twice, but with his wife Geri Halliwell present on the red carpet, it was a moment for Horner to shrink under the spotlight. Admirably, the director of the often besieged team continued.

The most intriguing, Verstappen (who said months ago, he would be “sick” for this evening event and clearly did not revel in spotlights like his rival Arch Hamilton) and the new teammate Liam Lawson were the only ones Drivers to have said a word to the crowd all night.

However, it may be one of the rare hooks in the middle of two hours of catchy neon lasers and deafening audio. The 10 teams, revealed from the last to the first according to last year’s ranking, completely bought with the pump and the show when they revealed the deliveries of cars mainly unchanged for the 2025 campaign. And Jack Whitehall, the Night host who does not even have a driving license, has done exquisite work to balance the status of F1 status often pernickety with good old -fashioned mickey.

The heated quarrel of George Russell and Max Verstappen? Directly. A joke on F1 drivers avoiding taxes? Tick. Russell labeled the second sexiest man in King’s Lynn after Martin Brundle? Big W. A love for the original figure of the boss of Williams James Vowles? The most popular. From the interior of the arena, the captivation of old and young fans, men and women, was clear from the start.

And they were also a competent root. Maybe the biggest joke of the evening was saved for the FIA, the F1 director body, when their logo appeared on the screen. The president of the FIA, Mohammed Ben SULAYEM, would do well to take note, in the midst of a strangely strict repression on the jurors of the drivers.

The show opened its doors with an American singer machine gun Kelly – a strange choice, perhaps, taking into account her running on the F1 grid in Brazil two years ago with Brundle – and ended with taking this, A compulsory musical burst in the middle of cars and staff. However, they were not the main event: which was left for cars and drivers, in a closely executed fence sequence on stage.

“I can already moaning purists here,” yell Whitehall at first, omnipresent energy. Energy which, to be fair, has rarely dissipated.

Admittedly, it was perhaps not a night for oil tankers. Sometimes, the repetitive nature of the procedures – in the end, it was simply the color of the car and we did not hear a revealing engine all night – was expired.

However, for the broader and more diverse public, F1 has attracted – and continues to attract – in recent years, it was a night of splendor, less than a month from the curtain courtyard of the 2025 season in Australia. For Liberty Media, the American F1 owners who changed the game with their driving to survive the inspired marketing game, it was a job well done before one of the most awaited seasons in sport.

And while Hamilton took leave on his private jet in Maranello, before his first outing in the Ferrari SF-25 2025 car on Wednesday, his ears will still be screaming the pure volume in the arena. In the midst of popular British like Norris and Russell, Hamilton is still the familiar name for sport.

If he needed more motivation for an eighth record title in 2025, he now has it.

Christian Horner was mocked by fans inside the Arena O2 while Red Bull unveiled his 2025 car livery on Tuesday evening.

Horner, who has been director of the team since 2005, went on the stage to a choir of huae when he introduced the Challenger of Red Bull in 2025, the RB21.

The Boss of Red Bull seemed to be devoid of the reception, in front of the drivers Max Verstappen and Liam Lawson while walking on stage. The two drivers did not speak to the crowd.

Horner had laughed earlier in front of the cameras, in a segment with the host Jack Whitehall, alongside his wife Geri Halliwell and the managing director of Red Bull, Oliver Mintzlaff.

Last year, a complaint against Horner by an employee of Red Bull was dismissed, twice, after two internal surveys, with the 51 -year -old man denying any reprehensible act.

The quadruple world champion F1 Verstappen, meanwhile, aims for a fifth consecutive title this year, a feat equaled only by Michael Schumacher for Ferrari.

The Dutchman had spoken earlier about the new F1 oath rules, opting for the Jose Mourinho treatment while he is trying to stay in difficulty. Under the new FIA regulations, a first offense includes a fine of £ 33,800; A second offense of a fine of £ 67,600 and suspended a suspension of one month and a third offense a fine of £ 101,000 and a one -month race ban.

Asked about the new regulations of F1 75 Lond in London on Tuesday, the quadruple world champion opted for a sentence made famous by the ex-peak and the manager of Man Utd Mourinho.

“I prefer not to talk about it,” he said. “Otherwise, I will have trouble.”

During a media session, moments later with members of the national press, Verstappen was slightly developed: “If you look at everyone’s reaction, I think that says enough.

“I think we shouldn’t take it if seriously. I’m not going to tell you how you should behave in life.

Verstappen, which offers this year to become the second driver in F1 history to win five consecutive world championships, also explained to him to go from his row with George Russell at the end of last season.

“I have no intention of continuing a type of beef in February,” he said. “I always enjoy my time away from F1. Honestly, I have nothing to say on this subject.”

Verstappen was joined by a new teammate in Red Bull this year, the New Zealand pilot Liam Lawson replacing Sergio Perez for 2025.

The 2025 season begins on March 16 in Australia.

Max Verstappen made his best impression by Jose Mourinho in response to questioning the new controversial rules of the JURANCE OF F1.

The FIA, the F1 director of the F1, has moved to codify punishment for having a jurist to swear in sport regulation and, last year, Verstappen had to undergo a community service in Rwanda for having used a rude language during of a press conference.

Under the new FIA regulations, a first offense includes a fine of £ 33,800; A second offense of a fine of £ 67,600 and suspended a suspension of one month and a third offense a fine of £ 101,000 and a one -month race ban.

The 2025 season begins on March 16 in Australia.

Formula 1 broke its previous audience record live Tuesday at the 75th anniversary of the sport, F1 75 Live, at the O2 Arena in London.

The event has raised 1.1 million lives to its peak and 4.6 million viewers in total in the direct broadcast of YouTube. The largest crowd in sport for a live event was only 289,000 at its peak.

The two -hour show, where the 20 pilots revealed that deliveries of F1 2025 cars associated with musical acts and celebrity appearances, were broadcast free of charge in the social networks of sport.

The event was also trendy on social networks, with # F175 which has become viral.

The evening was a starry business. The actor and actor Jack Whitehall organized the event with a stand-up comedy routine and an opening monologue full of the biggest F1 scenarios in 2024: the off-track drama. He was joined by the distribution of F1TV presenters, Laura Winters, Ariana Bravo and Lawrence Barretto.

American country singer Kane Brown was the first act while rapper MGK (Machine Gun Kelly) and singer Tems followed with sparkling and fire performances. The man behind the F1 theme song, Brian Tyler, made a special appearance and that closed the evening.

Despite Gordon Ramsay, Idris Elba and other celebrities that line the O2, most of the evening was the first public appearance of the world champion seven times Lewis Hamilton with Ferrari alongside Charles Leclerc.

“I feel so full of life and so much energy because everything is new,” said Hamilton when the SF-25 challenger was revealed. Drivers and team directors through the F1 grid predict that the 40 -year -old driver is a title candidate this season.

“Tonight was an incredible event and a huge success,” said Stefano Domenicinici, CEO of Formula 1. “As a sport, we have done something together that has never been done in the history of F1 before . We are always celebrating and respecting our incredible history while looking towards the future to engage new fans around the world. »»

Formula 1 will arrive on the track for the first time in 2025 in Melbourne on Sunday, March 16.
