Hamilton Aims for 8th Title with Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton has begun his new journey with Ferrari, driving the SF-25 for the first time at Fiorano, and is optimistic about claiming an eighth Formula One title. The 40-year-old Briton, who previously won championships with McLaren and Mercedes, believes Ferrari has all the necessary ingredients to win, citing the team's passion and leadership under Fred Vasseur, John Elkann, and Benedetto Vigna. Hamilton's move to Ferrari marks a significant shift after three challenging seasons with Mercedes, where he won only two races. The testing at Fiorano was part of a shakedown run, a precursor to the official pre-season testing in Bahrain. Hamilton is focused on integrating with the team and building a strong partnership with teammate Charles Leclerc, boosting hopes for Ferrari's first title since 2008. Despite his age, Hamilton is invigorated by the change and does not plan to retire immediately even if he achieves another title.
