Intriguing and fresh Ferrari livery tipped for Lewis Hamilton’s new car
Fresh details about new look of Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari will reportedly feature a bold new look.
Hamilton has swapped Mercedes for Ferrari and all eyes within the Formula 1 community are on the most successful driver in the sport, as he moves to the most successful team ever.
Hamilton’s 2025 car will be “a more intense shade of red”, according to Auto Racer.
The striking tweak to the livery will represent a clear change from the previous two iterations of Ferrari’s F1 cars.
However, it will not be as bold as the ‘Rosso Mugello’ - the one-off livery used at the 2020 Tuscan Grand Prix when Ferrari arrived in a darker-than-usual shade of red.
