Max Verstappen may make Lewis Hamilton's Christmas card list for one key testing change — plus, more of the latest F1 news.

The first time Hamilton dons the famous red Ferrari colors and gets behind the wheel of one of its F1 cars will be the moment he has longed for throughout his career. It is also set to be a relatively low-key event.

After 12 seasons and six world titles, the Briton swapped Mercedes silver for Ferrari red on January 1 as he bids to win a record eighth world title.

Hamilton bemoaned his seat position at times in 2023 and 2024, claiming that he was sat too far forward in his cockpit, admitting he struggled with the issue consistently. Hoping to ensure that this isn't a problem for the seven-time champion in 2025, Ferrari have reportedly acted to change the seat on their own machinery.

Lewis Hamilton has expressed his excitement ahead of his first season as a Ferrari driver in 2025 and will partner Charles Leclerc at the team.

After the turn of the year, Lewis Hamilton officially started for his new employer: Ferrari. The Italian Formula 1 team is said to have developed a special test programme to ensure the seven-time world champion is given enough time to get used to his new car and new team.

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur recently expressed what he feels about his new driver Lewis Hamilton doubting his own driving skills.
