The team described the new look as “symbolising dynamism and a vision that looks to the future.” The addition of white makes the Ferrari stand out even more and is expected to be one of the most photographed designs on the 2025 grid.
Hamilton’s First Reactions to His New Team
Since joining Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton has been immersing himself in the team’s culture and working closely with engineers. He spoke enthusiastically about his experience so far, saying:
“My first few weeks have been absolutely incredible, and I’ve seen first-hand the passion and dedication of the entire team. So much hard work has gone into preparing for the season ahead, and we couldn’t be more hungry or determined to succeed.”
The seven-time world champion added:
“I came into the year with so much anticipation for this new chapter, and I’m even more energised now by the spirit and belief of everyone I’ve met over the past month.”
Hamilton’s arrival has been met with massive support from Ferrari fans, and expectations are high as he aims to bring the team its first drivers’ title since Kimi Räikkönen’s championship win in 2007.
Ferrari’s SF-25: A Major Technical Evolution
Beyond the visual changes, the SF-25 represents a significant leap forward in Ferrari’s engineering approach. Team principal Fred Vasseur has described the car as 99% new compared to its 2024 predecessor.
One of the most notable changes is the switch to a pullrod front suspension, a departure from previous designs. Ferrari explained that this adjustment will:
- Improve airflow around the car, making it more aerodynamically efficient.
- Allow for greater development potential, as the previous setup had reached its limits.
These updates signal Ferrari’s aggressive push to challenge for the 2025 Formula 1 championship.
Ferrari to Run SF-25 at Fiorano Test Track
Following the launch event in London, Ferrari is set to run the SF-25 at its Fiorano test track on Wednesday. This will give the team and drivers an early chance to analyze the car’s behavior before heading to official pre-season testing in Bahrain from February 26-28.
With Hamilton’s arrival, a bold new livery, and a heavily upgraded car, Ferrari enters the 2025 season with renewed determination. The Italian team is more focused than ever on ending its championship drought, and all eyes will be on Hamilton and Leclerc as they take on the challenge together.
The first race of the season, the Australian Grand Prix on March 16, will be the true test of whether Ferrari’s new machine has what it takes to compete at the very top.
