Carlos Sainz has thanked Ferrari fans for their “incredible support” as he bids farewell to the Scuderia, heading to Williams. His move away from Ferrari becomes official as of New Year’s Day, with Lewis Hamilton moving across from Mercedes to Maranello in his stead – a move that has been known about since last February,

Ex- F1 team owner Eddie Jordan has labelled Ferrari’s decision to replace Carlos Sainz with Lewis Hamilton as “absolutely suicidal”. 2025 is here, which means Hamilton is officially a Ferrari F1 driver, while Sainz has begun life at Williams.

Hamilton arrives in Maranello with a fire in his stomach and a clear objective: win a record-breaking eighth Drivers’ Championship title and bring the glory days back to the Tifosi. However, while his race pace remains strong, many have doubted Fred Vasseur’s decision to bring the Brit to Italy for the 2025 campaign.

A much-anticipated F1 partnership between the sport's most successful team and driver began on Wednesday with Hamilton joining Ferrari on a two-year deal from Mercedes, where he won six of his seven drivers' titles.

Fred Vasseur has urged his Ferrari team to keep their feet on the ground despite the “excitement” of Lewis Hamilton officially joining the Italian oufit. After 12 years with Mercedes, seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton officially joined the Scuderia on 1 January ahead of the 2025 season.

Former Formula 1 team bosses Eddie Jordan and Flavio Briatore have launched scathing criticisms of Ferrari's decision to sign Lewis Hamilton and drop Carlos Sainz for the upcoming season. Jordan branded the move "suicidal" in comments made on his Formula For Success podcast.
