The seven-time world champion will join the iconic Italian team for the 2025 season and beyond, replacing Williams-bound Carlos Sainz at the end of this season.
As part of their preparations for Hamilton’s much-anticipated arrival, Ferrari have appointed Mercedes’ current performance director, Loic Serra, as their new Technical Director for Chassis.
Serra, a highly regarded French engineer, will officially take up his position on 1 October and report directly to Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur.

Ferrari's major staff changes
His role will be crucial as Ferrari look to build a car capable of delivering a world title for Hamilton, who is eyeing a record-breaking eighth championship.
In his new role, Serra will oversee several key departments within Ferrari’s chassis operations, including Chassis Project Engineering led by Fabio Montecchi, Vehicle Performance under Marco Adurno, Aerodynamics headed by Diego Tondi, Track Engineering directed by Matteo Togninalli, and Chassis Operations led by Diego Ioverno, who also serves as Ferrari’s Sporting Director.
Meanwhile, Enrico Gualtieri will continue as Ferrari’s Technical Director for Power Unit, ensuring a robust engine department as the team prepares for a new era with Hamilton at the wheel.
The reshuffle marks Ferrari’s commitment to strengthening their technical capabilities ahead of Hamilton’s arrival.
