Ferrari reveal name of Lewis Hamilton's first Scuderia F1 car for 2025 season
Ferrari have confirmed that their 2025 F1 car will be called the SF-25, in line with their last two Scuderia challengers. Lewis Hamilton will debut in scarlet red this year and is set to drive the SF-25 for the first time at the official three-day pre-season test in Bahrain from 26-28 February. The last year which didn't feature the 'SF' acronym as the title of the Ferrari car was 2022. That year, the F1-75 challenger was a nod to the 75th anniversary since the first Ferrari production car was unveiled in Maranello. Hamilton's first race in the SF-25 will be the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on 16 March. The seven-time F1 world champion, who partners Charles Leclerc this year, is currently undergoing a series of private tests in the 2023 car – the SF-23 – as he continues his acclimatisation with Ferrari machinery. Hamilton crashed his car in Barcelona on Wednesday, maintaining an intriguing testing trend dating back to his rookie year in 2007. The 40-year-old was unharmed in the incident at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, though the damage was enough to curtail a planned testing afternoon for Leclerc. Hamilton is set to take part in a Pirelli tyre test next week, again in Barcelona, ahead of new regulations in 2026. McLaren are also set to take part. The British driver is then expected to be present at the 10-team season launch event, F1 75 Live, at the O2 Arena in London on Tuesday 18 February. Ferrari officially unveil the SF-25 a day later. Hamilton, who won six titles in 12 years at Mercedes, is eyeing a record-breaking eighth F1 world championship this year as he looks to pass Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher 's title tally.
