Ferrari SF-25 presentation and livery, here are the first photos of Maranello’s new F1 car. Moments after its appearance during the joint F1-75 event in London, the Prancing Horse unveils Project 677. It will be entrusted to Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, in his first year in red, and expectations for the opening round in Melbourne are already sky-high.
A whole year of waiting for this moment, and it’s finally here. The first Ferrari assigned to Lewis Hamilton is unveiled after the joint presentation at London’s O2 Arena. A historic moment for the Prancing Horse, which finds in the Briton a seven-time world champion behind the wheel of the highly anticipated (and expectation-laden) Project 677.
A brand-new car, featuring intriguing technical choices, promising to challenge McLaren, Red Bull, and Mercedes. The championship looks set to be wide open, following the trajectory already established last season. It’s hard to predict the dominance of a single team, though in Woking, some are hoping to take the lead. The opening races will be crucial in determining the pecking order on track.
Hamilton or Leclerc: who will be Ferrari’s lead driver?
Ferrari is searching for a captain, a #1 driver to back in the title fight. Throughout the winter, the question has lingered: who, between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, will be Maranello’s leading man? The Briton arrives in Italy with the clear intention of securing his eighth world title and cementing his legend. The #16, however, is unlikely to step aside without a fight.
Ferrari’s history reminds us that naming a lead driver is not always necessary. However, the key principle remains teamwork. Battles on track are allowed, but Ferrari’s interests come before any personal ambition. Hamilton and Leclerc both know what it means to wear the Maranello colors. The goal is to win, but to do so together.
Ferrari SF-25: when will it hit the track in Fiorano?
With the Ferrari SF-25 now unveiled, it’s time to take it to the track. The first outing will take place at Fiorano, the Prancing Horse’s private circuit, ahead of the scheduled Bahrain tests from February 26 to 28. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will run at the Modena circuit on February 19, just a day after the collective presentation in London.
Following the release of the first official renders of the car, the first shakedown will take place immediately. This will be a key opportunity to make initial assessments of Project 677 ahead of the season’s first round in Australia. Further updates will be available on our website in the coming hours.
