Lewis Hamilton already speaks Italian: his first message to Ferrari fans. Lewis Hamilton already speaks Italian and has delivered his first message to Ferrari fans.

Ferrari, it’s Lewis Hamilton’s time: his first message in Italian marks the dawn of the new F1 season. The British driver is now officially a driver for the Prancing Horse. In just a few weeks, he will take to the track for the first time at Fiorano, behind the wheel of a Maranello single-seater. The excitement is through the roof and evident in the text shared on LinkedIn: “Let’s make it a year to remember.”

The wait is almost over: in just a few months, Lewis Hamilton will debut in Formula 1 with Ferrari. Maranello once again embraces a seven-time world champion, after turning Michael Schumacher into a legend. The Briton will aim for an eighth title, which would elevate him to the pinnacle of sports. He will do so with Ferrari, the team that best embodies the history of Formula 1.

Since the announcement of #44’s signing with the Prancing Horse, skeptics have not been absent. The specter of a mere “marketing ploy” will continue to hover over Ferrari’s garage until the first race of the year in Melbourne. And while Eddie Jordan considers letting Carlos Sainz go “a suicide,” Lewis Hamilton shares his first words as a Ferrari driver.

Lewis Hamilton: first words as a Ferrari driver and that message in Italian
The first message as a Ferrari driver appears on the Englishman’s LinkedIn profile: “I couldn’t be more excited about the year ahead. There’s much to reflect on as I transition to Ferrari. To anyone considering their next move in 2025: embrace change.”

“Whether you’re changing jobs, learning something new, or simply taking on new challenges, remember that reinvention is a powerful tool. Your next opportunity is within reach. Here’s to 2025: a year of new opportunities, staying hungry, and moving forward with purpose. Let’s make it a year to remember, let’s go!”

In the final words of his message—“let’s go”— Lewis Hamilton chooses to write it in Italian. And who knows, perhaps 2025 will indeed be a year to remember for Ferrari fans.
