The seven-time world champion begins a new chapter in 2025 as a Ferrari driver, having made the high-profile switch after over a decade with Mercedes. In many ways, including the number of wins and pole positions, Lewis Hamilton is the most successful Formula 1 driver in history, sharing the all-time record of seven world titles with Michael Schumacher.

His final season with Mercedes in 2024 was a mixed one. While the team continued to struggle with consistency, Hamilton managed to secure two victories, offering glimpses of his enduring class. However, it wasn’t enough to return to championship contention. Now with Ferrari, Hamilton hopes to add another title to his legendary career in what could be one of the most talked-about moves in F1 history.
