Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has confirmed that Lewis Hamilton will make his eagerly-anticipated arrival at the team’s F1 base next week. Seven-time world champion Hamilton has joined Ferrari from rivals Mercedes in the biggest driver transfer in F1 history.

Lewis Hamilton "knew in his head" he wanted to drive for Ferrari one day as far back as 2004, according to team principal Fred Vasseur.

Italian journalist Roberto Chincero says a “Hamilton mania” has already begun in the country ahead of the 40-year-old Briton’s arrival, which he believes will require a heavy police presence to manage large crowds that are expected to gather on the streets near Ferrari’s headquarters.

After a distinguished 12-year tenure with Mercedes, where he secured seven World Championships and 105 Grand Prix wins, Hamilton has switched teams for the 2025 Formula 1 season.

Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has confirmed that Lewis Hamilton will make his highly anticipated official debuts at Maranello and Fiorano “next week”. Recent reports
