After speaking Italian in a speech to his Ferrari colleagues, Lewis Hamilton has done something which Michael Schumacher allegedly avoided – at least to start with. That claim comes from respected F1 correspondent José M.

Lewis Hamilton trailed new Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc by a massive 1.7 seconds in a pre-season test in Barcelona this week.

Toto Wolff has said Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes exit was “right for both of us” as the team principal looked ahead to the 2025 F1 season. After 12 years and six world titles together, Hamilton and Mercedes parted ways at the end of last season with the British driver sealing a blockbuster move to Ferrari for 2025 and beyond.

Lewis Hamilton delivered his first speech in Italian to Ferrari’s fans and team members, demonstrating his commitment to integrating into the team ahead of the 2025 season.

McLaren's Lando Norris has thrown his support behind Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari, stating he "would probably do the same" if in Hamilton's position. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, the 25-year-old British driver praised his compatriot's decision to join the Italian team for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
