Hamilton`s 2025 season with Ferrari is crucial as the team prepares for significant regulatory changes ahead.

Lewis Hamilton is entering a pivotal four-month period with Ferrari in the 2025 Formula 1 season. The team is set to prioritize the new SF-25 car, which features a radically different design with less than 1% of its parts shared with the 2024 model. This new car introduces innovative concepts, including a pullrod front suspension layout, aimed at giving Hamilton and teammate Charles Leclerc a strong start to the season.

As the final year under the current regulations, the 2025 season is critical for teams, with major rule changes on the horizon for 2026, including 50% electrification and fully sustainable fuels. Ferrari, having finished second in the 2024 Constructors` standings, has a limited window of 900 hours in the wind tunnel to optimize the SF-25 before shifting focus to Project 678.

Hamilton`s transition from Mercedes to Ferrari is a significant storyline, especially after a disappointing seventh-place finish in the 2024 championship. The competition is expected to be fierce, with Max Verstappen of Red Bull facing challenges from both McLaren and Ferrari. The internal dynamics within both teams, featuring closely matched drivers, could complicate their title aspirations.

In other developments, Lance Stroll of Aston Martin has been seen testing a rally car, raising speculation about his potential dual role in motorsport. Meanwhile, Cadillac is gearing up to join the F1 grid in 2026, considering IndyCar driver Colton Herta as a potential signing.
