The bombshell news that Lewis Hamilton will join Ferrari for the 2025 season has been circulating for weeks. Recently, the vice president of Scuderia claimed that the British driver had visited their factory in Maranello prior to the move. However, in a recent interview, Hamilton denied these claims, raising questions about his integrity and loyalty. He stated that he did not visit the Italian factory while under contract with the Silver Arrows.
The 39-year-old driver clarified that he bought his first Ferrari in 2010 but refrained from visiting the factory out of respect for his current team. In contrast, the vice president alleged that Hamilton visited Maranello to provide specific instructions for his car. Despite the controversy, Hamilton is ready to join the red team next year.
While Hamilton prepares for his final season with his current team, he seeks to end his partnership on a high note. Both he and the team are determined to overcome their recent difficulties and achieve success with the W15 car this year. During testing, Hamilton felt more comfortable behind the wheel and expressed confidence in the car, although he acknowledged that there is still a gap compared to the dominant team.
Although Hamilton faced some challenges on the first day of testing, experiencing moments of oversteer, the team worked to resolve the issue and improve the car’s performance. Now they are preparing for the season opener in Bahrain, hoping to make the most of the upcoming weekend.
