From 1/1/2025 Lewis Hamilton became a Ferrari driver.
The Ferrari media team released a very clever post.
Note the time it was posted. 16.44. 16 is Charles Leclerc's race number and 44 is Lewis Hamiltons number. (they are now team mates). Interesting to note that Mercedes have lost just under a million followers and Ferrari have gained over a million.
With all his farewell commitments to Mercedes, Lewis has not tested in last years Ferrari. (All new drivers did a test run in Abu Dhabi.) It's understood, he will be testing in Marinello, Italy, later this month.
A lot to learn. New car, new steering wheel, new team, new race engineer and new language.
Personally, I'm not expecting him to do that well initially. Only time will tell.
* F1 live at the O2 Arena London. February
* Pre- Season Testing in Bahrain 26th-28th February.
* 1st Race - Australia Friday March 14th-Sunday 16th March.

Not sure about a change of power unit, Lewis needs a change of luck....

And a change of engineer might not go amiss @jonsie
Lewis had to ask if he was safe?
Adami : No. Track Limits. 16th.
No consolation, no concern. Nothing.
Even Ted Kravitz mentioned his response in his notebook.
He said it's the first time he's ever heard a driver have to ask his engineer if he was through and get that tone of response.
I know Lewis immediately took responsibility and apologised to the team but there was no concern or response from anyonne.
Sad to be so disliked really.
There again, we all know why Ferrari wanted LH. You only had to look at how the share prices rose when the announcement was made last year.!!

Due to lashing rain, they started 2 laps behind the safety car then red flagged the race for an hour and 20 mins.
We've just started now, 2 laps behind the safety car. Then we are go.
Thank gawd. 😂

Not a lot of action really even though the track was nissed through
Pitstops about the most exciting
Norris lost it on the first lap
Well done Lewis finishing 7th
