Ferrari is pulling out all the stops to welcome Lewis Hamilton as the seven-time world champion joins the iconic team for the 2025 season. Amid whispers of technical upgrades and adjustments to suit Hamilton’s driving style, fresh rumors suggest the Scuderia will debut a bolder and darker shade of red on its 2025 challenger, the SF-25, as a symbolic nod to Hamilton’s historic legacy.


A Tribute in Color

Ferrari’s signature red has been a constant in Formula 1, evolving subtly over the decades. But for 2025, autoracer.it claims the team is preparing a more striking shade of red to mark Hamilton’s arrival. Early speculation pointed to colors like Amaranth or Mugello Red, but the Italian source negates these suggestions, stating the chosen hue will reflect a more bold and contemporary aesthetic—a perfect pairing for Hamilton’s larger-than-life persona.

While Ferrari dismissed earlier rumors of an all-black chassis as “far-fetched,” the darker red design is said to blend modernity with tradition, showcasing Ferrari’s adaptability in welcoming a new chapter in its storied history.


Technical Changes for a Driver-Centric Approach

Hamilton has long been vocal about his preferences behind the wheel, and Ferrari seems to be listening. Among the notable changes:

  • Cockpit Position Adjustment: Following Hamilton’s struggles with a forward-seated position at Mercedes in 2023, Ferrari is reportedly moving the seat further back, providing the Briton with better ergonomics and visibility. This tweak could significantly impact Hamilton’s comfort and confidence in the car.
  • Return to Pullrod Rear Suspension: For the first time since 2015, Ferrari is reverting to a pullrod rear suspension, aligning with the latest advancements in chassis dynamics and aerodynamics.
  • Revised Wheelbase: Adjustments to the car’s wheelbase aim to enhance balance and improve performance across a variety of circuits, complementing Hamilton’s dynamic driving style.

A Shot at Glory

Ferrari’s resurgence over the past two seasons has positioned them as serious contenders for the 2025 championship. With Hamilton joining forces with Charles Leclerc, the team boasts one of the most formidable driver pairings on the grid. If the technical upgrades on the SF-25 deliver, the Scuderia could be poised for its first championship since 2007.

Hamilton, known for extracting the maximum from any car, adds a layer of tactical experience and leadership that could help Ferrari fine-tune its performance against the likes of Red Bull, McLaren, and Mercedes.


2025: A Season of Transformation

Ferrari’s decision to embrace a darker red shade is more than a cosmetic change—it’s a statement. It signals Ferrari’s intent to evolve while staying true to its heritage, welcoming Hamilton as not just a driver but a symbol of excellence and perseverance.

As fans eagerly await the official unveiling of the SF-25, one thing is certain: Ferrari is entering 2025 with bold ambitions, a refreshed identity, and a clear mission to reclaim its place at the pinnacle of Formula 1. Whether this new shade of red will also bring championship gold remains to be seen, but the excitement surrounding Hamilton’s Ferrari debut is already reaching fever pitch.
