In the coming days and weeks, Lewis Hamilton will plunge into his new Formula 1 adventure with Ferrari. His F1 racer could get a special look.
Lewis Hamilton has officially been part of Scuderia Ferrari since January 1, 2025. In the coming days, the record world champion and teammate Charles Leclerc are expected in Maranello, where they will undergo seat adjustments, tests and simulator work.
The world will be able to marvel at Hamilton’s new company car for the first time on February 18th. Then all ten F1 cars for the coming season will be presented to the world public in a big ceremony in London.
The first rides in the Ferrari have already been announced for the following day.
Even though the appearance of the SF-25 is associated with great secrecy, there are already initial rumors about the new look. As the Italian portal “autoracer.it” reports, a car is expected that has fewer visible carbon parts, as weight savings should play a smaller role. The minimum weight of the racers is increased to 800 kg. In addition, a special cooling system is integrated, which becomes mandatory in hot races.
How red are the reds?
The color of the first Hamilton Ferrari could cause discussions.
According to the report, the racing team will arrive in London with a slightly “different livery”. We’re talking about “a more intense shade of red”. This represents a change compared to the last two cars.
However, the paintwork will not be as extreme as the amaranth paintwork from 2020. Back then, the Scuderia competed at the Tuscan Grand Prix with the very dark Rosso Mugello on the SF1000.
It shouldn’t be as dark as 2020
