Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc modeled Ferrari's 2025 race kits

The rollout of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari continues.

Last week the Formula 1 team slowly rolled out their newest driver, living legend Hamilton, over a few days at their factory. That rollout began with the first images of Hamilton as he met with senior management, and continued with his first days on track testing the SF-23, the team's challenger for the 2023 campaign.

Now we have our first images of Hamilton alongside teammate Charles Leclerc as Ferrari shared a video with the two drivers in their 2025 race kits, dubbed the team's "1644 era:"

The video is the latest step in Ferrari's rollout of Hamilton, as the legendary driver joins the team after an incredible run at Mercedes. The next step in this rollout? Another testing session for both Hamilton and Leclerc in Spain, later this week in Barcelona. Ferrari will take to Circuit de Catalunya, the site of the Spanish Grand Prix, for a three-day Testing of Previous Cars [TPC] session with their two drivers.

The 2025 F1 season begins in earnest at the end of February, with three days of pre-season testing at Bahrain International Circuit.

The season-opening Australian Grand Prix is slated for March 16.
