The words of Frederic Vasseur during Ferrari’s Christmas dinner are fueling the hype around Hamilton’s arrival.
January 21, 2025, will be a historic date for Ferrari and Formula 1. Lewis Hamilton will, for the first time, wear red in Fiorano and drive a Ferrari, likely the SF-75. This significant date, unofficially revealed today, has sparked excitement among Ferrari fans and beyond.
Lewis Hamilton couldn’t wait for Christmas, and now his wish has come true sooner than he thought. The anticipation is intense, as it is for the 2025 season, since the Ferrari 677 is set to be one of the favorites at the starting line, alongside McLaren. The car will be officially unveiled on February 19, once again in Fiorano.
Hamilton’s arrival has obviously made headlines for months, especially in Italy. During Ferrari’s Christmas dinner, Frederic Vasseur revealed some behind-the-scenes details about the seven-time champion’s move to Maranello.
Here’s what the Frenchman had to say: “I didn’t have a hard time convincing Hamilton to join Ferrari. He and I have been friends for over twenty years. I’ve known since 2004 that Maranello was a goal for him, a natural target. At a certain point, we were ready, with a competitive project. He said yes right away. He’s coming to win. Leclerc wants to win. I want to win. I don’t see any contradictions…”
