Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton stunned the world of F1 after announcing a move to Scuderia Ferrari in 2025. Hamilton is set to partner alongside the Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc on the Maranello-based team.

Lewis Hamilton is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in F1. The 39-year-old has been with Mercedes since 2013, winning six championships with them. Hamilton has since deemed his move to Ferrari a dream, where he will look to secure the record-breaking eighth title of his career.

It is interesting because I will be able to learn from one of the best drivers in the entire history of F1, and it is very motivating because I am intrigued by the comparison with Lewis with the same car. For these two reasons I can't wait to start this new chapter, but I still want to say that I have always had a great time with Carlos too.

Leclerc has endured a dip in form this season despite being formidable at the start. He will now hope to bounce back to revive his title hopes ahead of an exciting partnership with Hamilton next year.

It's very difficult to expect or anticipate anything with these cars. We did not expect to be where we are, but we are here and we are very much aware of where the areas are where we need to work. We are putting absolutely everything in order to turn the situation around.
Charles Leclerc told the media including RacingNews365

The Monegasque driver has talked of the unpredictable nature of the SF-24 while bemoaning their lost chances this campaign. He has also claimed that the team has been aware of the issues and is working around the clock to fix them.

Ferrari has been thoroughly outpaced by the likes of McLaren, Mercedes, and Red Bull in 2024. Going forwards, they will have to desperately notch wins and podiums in order to make up for their lackluster runs this campaign.
