Lewis Hamilton F1 release announced as legend reaches MAJOR milestone

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has been honoured by his new team Ferrari today, January 7, 2025, on his 40th birthday.

The sporting legend may be entering his 19th F1 season, but he isn’t quite the oldest driver on the 2025 grid, and certainly will still harbour hopes of earning a record-breaking eighth title before retiring.

The racing star will make his debut later this month at Ferrari’s private testing track Fiorano, and fans across the globe eagerly await his first race in red at the Australian Grand Prix weekend, March 14-16, 2025.Today marks Lewis Hamilton's 40th birthday!
