After a golden decade with Mercedes and seven world titles to his name, Lewis Hamilton chose to change teams—and Formula 1’s emotional landscape shifted with him. He left behind silver certainty for the blazing passion and unpredictability of Ferrari, the sport’s most iconic yet volatile team.

Now 40 years old, Lewis Hamilton embarked on this new chapter in Maranello with more questions than podiums. While many dreamt of seeing him in red atop the standings, the reality of the 2025 season has been far less glamorous. So far, Hamilton’s best finishes have been two fourth-place results.

One came in Austria, and the other at Silverstone, his home Grand Prix. But beyond those moments, Lewis Hamilton hasn’t made much noise. Currently, he’s sitting sixth in the drivers’ championship standings.

The ripple effect of rumors

Tensions go beyond the racetrack. This week, Lewis Hamilton was hit by an unexpected digital jolt—a viral post claiming “breaking news” involving Ferrari sparked a frenzy among fans and media.

Although the post turned out to be false, it stirred enough drama to prompt a concerned reaction from Hamilton himself.

“It had me worried for a second,” Lewis Hamilton messaged the fan. The fan replied, “I’m not clowning in front of the greatest of all time.” The exchange illustrates the charged atmosphere surrounding Hamilton’s project with Ferrari since his Mercedes departure.

Media expectations are sky-high. Constant comparisons to his former team linger, and there’s symbolic pressure for Lewis Hamilton to revive Ferrari’s long-lost glory. Remember: the Scuderia hasn’t won a drivers’ championship since Kimi Räikkönen in 2007.

Adjustment period

In the midst of it all, Lewis Hamilton keeps leaning into transformation. Known for blending tactical aggression with mental precision, he’s working to adjust to the SF-25. There are whispers of technical tweaks coming—especially around tire management and traction in slower corners.

According to The Express, despite the digital misstep, Lewis Hamilton hasn’t shown public signs of impatience. His focus remains as razor-sharp as ever: refine each detail, weather the storm, and push alongside the team to boost performance in the upcoming races.

Off the track, Lewis Hamilton continues to be a cultural force. His advocacy for diversity in Formula 1, along with his stance on environmental and social justice, keeps Hamilton relevant and respected across both sport and society.

As the season rolls on, fans wonder whether Lewis Hamilton will find his way to the podium. And if Ferrari can finally harmonize the machine beneath him, this tale might end in a victory.
