Lewis Hamilton has issued his first statement since joining Ferrari from Mercedes for the F1 2025 season.
January 1 marked Hamilton’s first day as a Ferrari driver following the conclusion of his Mercedes contract on December 31.
Hamilton is not expected to start work at Ferrari until later this month following a winter break.
Martin Brundle reacts as Ferrari make major Project 677 change
Reports this week claimed that Ferrari have adjusted the cockpit position of their F1 2025 car – codenamed Project 677 – for Lewis Hamilton’s first season with the team.
And F1 pundit Martin Brundle has lifted the lid on the importance of seating position in an F1 car, claiming drivers can feel “trapped” if it isn’t right.
Hamilton previously complained that his cockpit was too far forward during his penultimate season with Mercedes in 2023.
It is unclear if Hamilton had any direct influence on the change to the cockpit of the Ferrari – though he is believed to be close to the team’s chassis technical director Loic Serra, who arrived from Mercedes in October 2024.
