Ferrari reveal launch date for Hamilton’s new F1 car

Ferrari will unveil its new F1 challenger on February 19 next year, one week prior to pre-season testing from Bahrain.

The upcoming campaign marks a new chapter for Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton as the two join forces for the first time.

Hamilton opted to leave Mercedes at the end of the 2024 F1 season following a lengthy and highly successful partnership, during which he scored six world championships.

The 39-year-old will partner Charles Leclerc at Ferrari, who enters his seventh season with the Marnaello-based outfit.

Ferrari will be present at the F1 75 launch event from the O2 Arena in London on February 18 with all other 10 teams.

However, it is widely expected that the present squads will unveil their new liveries on a show car with the true challenger revealed at an alternative date.

Ferrari enters the new season looking to challenge for the F1 title, having narrowly missed out on the constructors’ championship this year to McLaren.

It was unable to fight in the drivers’ standings, with Max Verstappen taking his fourth successive victory.
