Official Ferrari return confirmed following Hamilton team-mate ruling

An official Ferrari return has been confirmed after Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were handed a clear ruling by the Tifosi.

Hamilton is now officially a Ferrari Formula 1 driver after leaving his previous team, Mercedes, despite it being the outfit where he claimed six of his seven drivers' titles.

Hamilton has spent the F1 off-season getting to grips with various Ferrari machinery as part of the team's TPC (Testing of Previous Car) programme, taking to the track in the SF-23 and SF-24.

On just the third day of running with his new team, the 40-year-old crashed the 2023 machinery whilst testing its limits at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya but thankfully, the F1 legend was unharmed by the incident.

During their latest outing at the same circuit, Hamilton and his new team-mate Leclerc shared driving duties of the team's 2024 challenger as part of the Pirelli tyre test, where their Ferrari had been adapted to suit the new tyre prototypes which are set to be introduced in 2026.
