Lewis Hamilton has shared the first picture of himself wearing Ferrari's iconic red racing suit after starting his new era at the constructor this week. The seven-time world champion announced his shock move to his boyhood team at the start of 2024, calling time on 12 years driving for Mercedes.

After winning the lion's share of his world titles with the British team, Hamilton was then forced to endure a nightmare farewell season which saw him outqualified by his team-mate George Russell at every race weekend in 2024. Hamilton was able to claim the British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the Belgium Grand Prix, but otherwise saw himself finish seventh in the drivers' standings.

But the British driver will be excited at the prospect of a new start, and has been sharing new glimpses of his life in Italy after jetting to Maranello earlier this week to begin his life as a Ferrari driver. After posing clad in a dark designer suit and overcoat in front of a Ferrari F40, Hamilton chased the image with one dressed in the Prancing Horse's unmistakable red suit.
