Transition to Ferrari and Challenges in the 2025 Season
After a 12-year tenure with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team, Lewis Hamilton’s move to Scuderia Ferrari in 2025 marked one of the most prominent shifts in Formula 1 history. Hamilton joined forces with Charles Leclerc, but his first season with Ferrari presented significant obstacles. Finishing sixth in the drivers’ championship and trailing Leclerc by 86 points, Hamilton notably missed out on securing any Grand Prix podiums for the first time in his career.
Despite a memorable victory at the Chinese Grand Prix, technical difficulties and multiple on-track incidents hindered Hamilton’s performance throughout the season.
