Lewis Hamilton says Ferrari have “absolutely every ingredient to win” as the team launched the car he hopes will take him to an eighth world title.
Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc did an initial test of the SF-25 car at Ferrari’s Fiorano test track on Wednesday.
Hamilton told BBC Sport in an exclusive interview that he “couldn’t really say too much” about the car but that it “feels like a car I am getting on well with”.
The former Mercedes driver added: “From seeing the passion, everything under one roof, which I’ve never experienced before, this team has absolutely every ingredient to win.
“But we’re also aware we have to continue to work. We have to improve and elevate everywhere – not everywhere but in certain areas, and I have no doubt that we can do that.”
Hamilton, who started work acclimatising to Ferrari last month, is staying at the factory in his motorhome during the week, so he can be embedded with the team as much as possible.
He said: “I have genuinely loved every day I have been here.
“It’s a place you genuinely don’t really want to leave in the day. Everything’s here. Even my motorhome is here so I don’t ever leave.”
Hamilton, 40, has driven the team’s 2023 and 2024 cars in short tests in the past weeks, before experiencing the 2025 car, which will now be shipped to Bahrain for next week’s official F1 pre-season test from 26-28 February.
The first race of the season is the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 14-16 March. (BBC)
