Date set as Lewis Hamilton approaches first Ferrari SF-25 drive

Lewis Hamilton continues to get to grips with Ferrari machinery and the day he will drive the team’s F1 2025 car for the first time has reportedly been decided

Ferrari narrowly missed out on the F1 2024 Constructors’ title to McLaren after a gripping final-race battle in Abu Dhabi, but the team decided change was the way to go for the upcoming season, with principal Fred Vasseur promising a completely overhauled Ferrari challenger in the SF-25.

“If it will be competitive, we’ll find out in Bahrain [pre-season testing],” Vasseur is widely reported as having commented on the SF-25.

“Sometimes you don’t realise you’re taking risks until afterward. The car will be completely new; I think we’ll have less than one per cent of the parts in common with the 2024 car.

“It’s a different project, but the same applies to everyone.

“We can’t say now if 2025 will be our year, but I trust the project we’re working on.

“It will still be an intense challenge like the one we just completed.

“I am very proud of how we tackled difficulties this year, but we must take another step towards consistency.”

Ex-Mercedes performance director Loic Serra – who arrived at Ferrari in October 2024 as their new chassis technical director – is leading the development of the SF-25 and represents a familiar face for Hamilton
