On the morning of Wednesday, February 19, the Prancing Horse took the SF-25 onto the track for the first time, the car that will compete in the next Formula One World Championship. The first to drive it was Charles Leclerc, who, after lunch, passed the baton to Lewis Hamilton: here are the photos of the Briton’s debut at Fiorano in the 2025 Ferrari.
From London to Fiorano after a special event evening at the O2 Arena in the English capital. As part of the “F1 75” show, organized by Formula 1 to celebrate the category’s 75th anniversary, Ferrari unveiled its new livery. Shortly afterward, images of the new SF-25 appeared on the team’s website and social media profiles. Present in London for the spectacular event, Ferrari’s drivers then immediately returned to Italy to shoot the filming day at the circuit next to the headquarters.
At Fiorano, Wednesday, February 19, marked the debut of the 2025 Ferrari, driven by Leclerc and Hamilton. The first to take the new single-seater onto the track was the Monegasque driver. The #16 hit the track around 9:30 a.m. for the first 100 km of shakedown allowed by regulations. As he exited the garage, the Ferrari driver was met with a crowd of fans gathered in the makeshift stands of the Modenese circuit.

Still coated in matte paint, the 2025 Ferrari is dressed in a darker and more intense shade of red than in 2024. Additionally, the team has decided to give more space to white, which is visibly present on the front and rear wings but especially on the engine cover of the car.
