F1 News
This season, Lewis Hamilton will be seen in Ferrari's red racing suit for the first time. On Instagram, the seven-time world champion subtly already shared a preview of him in a red jacket while out snowboarding during the offseason.
Hamilton making the huge move to Ferrari
Ferrari fans have been waiting for almost a year for the moment Hamilton will drive for the first time on behalf of Ferrari in Formula 1. In early February 2024, it was announced that the Brit would leave Mercedes after 12 seasons for the Scuderia, with one of the greatest driver and team partnerships coming to and end.
Immediately it also became clear that Carlos Sainz would have to leave the team and that Charles Leclerc would become the seven-time world champion's new teammate. The Spaniard would then go on to sign for Williams for the 2025 season.
February will see the F1 75 event take place at the O2 Arena in London. At this event, all the teams on the grid will unveil their cars for the upcoming season. All drivers and team bosses will be there, meaning that Hamilton will then be seen wearing Ferrari colours. There will possibly be images of the Brit in a red racing suit before that, as he is rumoured to be doing a TPC test on behalf of the Scuderia between 21 and 23 January.
Hamilton snowboarding in red suit
At the moment, Hamilton is still enjoying his holiday. In doing so, he is not looking for some winter sun, but rather the snow, with the Brit going snowboarding, sharing images of this on his Instagram account.
The images show Hamilton doing many jumps, snowboarding off-piste and in between trees after being dropped off by helicopter. All of this happened while wearing a red suit, giving Ferrari fans a sneak preview of what is to come.
