Lewis Hamilton is "back in the game" following his move to Ferrari from Mercedes for F1 2025, according to Ferrari boss Benedetto Vigna.

Lewis Hamilton’s switch to Ferrari has reportedly divided opinion amongst Ferrari’s Tifosi with expectations for either a “dream team” or a “not easy” period for Charles Leclerc. Hamilton is racing in red this season having signed a multi-year contract to become Leclerc’s newest Ferrari team-mate.

Ferrari have made a major announcement following Lewis Hamilton's arrival from Mercedes for the F1 2025 season.

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has confirmed that Lewis Hamilton will make his eagerly-anticipated arrival at the team’s F1 base next week. Seven-time world champion Hamilton has joined Ferrari from rivals Mercedes in the biggest driver transfer in F1 history.

His immense talent became clear from the early stages of his single-seater career, and a test with the McLaren team in their 2006 car confirmed to the team that he was the right man for their new era, with both Kimi Raikkonen and Pedro de la Rosa departing the Woking outfit.

Italian journalist Roberto Chincero says a “Hamilton mania” has already begun in the country ahead of the 40-year-old Briton’s arrival, which he believes will require a heavy police presence to manage large crowds that are expected to gather on the streets near Ferrari’s headquarters.

Lewis Hamilton “knew in his head” he wanted to drive for Ferrari one day as far back as 2004, according to team principal Fred Vasseur. Hamilton and Vasseur have known each other since Hamilton’s junior racing days,
