Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari Era Begins: A Historic Move That’s Electrifying F1 even Andrea Stella admits Lewis Hamilton’s ‘historic’ Ferrari F1 debut got him ‘excited’

Lewis Hamilton’s blockbuster move to Ferrari has set the Formula 1 world on fire. After an uncharacteristically tough few seasons at Mercedes, the seven-time world champion is preparing for one of the boldest challenges of his career—bringing Ferrari back to glory.

But former F1 driver Giedo van der Garde has a stark warning for the grid—if Ferrari delivers a competitive car, Hamilton will be unstoppable.

Hamilton vs. Leclerc: Ferrari’s Battle of Generations

Hamilton’s arrival at Maranello means he’ll be teaming up with Charles Leclerc, Ferrari’s golden boy and one of the fastest qualifiers in the sport. According to van der Garde, this intra-team duel will be must-watch drama.

“I do think the battle with Leclerc will be exciting,” van der Garde explained. “Leclerc is obviously incredibly good at qualifying, but I think they can learn a lot from each other.”

The Dutchman believes that while Leclerc has the edge over one lap, Hamilton’s race craft, tire management, and consistency over a Grand Prix distance remain unmatched.

“Leclerc can of course do that from Hamilton in the race, because once he has a car and he is on pace, he is of course almost unbeatable.”

A Bold Move at 40: Hamilton’s Risk, Reward, and Renewed Fire

Switching teams at 40 years old is a rare move in Formula 1, but van der Garde believes Hamilton’s decision was not just strategic, but courageous.

“I think it’s very bold. I think it’s really nice that he was able to make that step. But I think he is very motivated to start a new season, especially with the new people.”

That motivation could be the X-factor in Hamilton’s Ferrari stint. He’s not just there to collect podiums—he’s there to win.

The Challenge Ahead: Can Ferrari Deliver a Title-Winning Car?

Even with Hamilton’s legendary skill set, the biggest question remains—will Ferrari give him the car to fight for the championship?

Hamilton and Leclerc will face fierce competition from Red Bull, McLaren, and Mercedes, all expected to be in the mix. If Ferrari stumbles in development, internal tensions could rise as both drivers fight for supremacy.

But if Ferrari nails the formula? Van der Garde’s words might prove prophetic—Hamilton, in the right car, is still the most dangerous driver on the grid.

The 2025 F1 season is shaping up to be a thriller, and all eyes will be on Hamilton’s first race in red at the Australian Grand Prix on March 16.

Will Hamilton write a new chapter of Ferrari greatness, or will the Scuderia’s struggles continue? One thing is certain—he’s ready to fight.
