Lewis Hamilton's feature on the cover of Time magazine in February 2025 marks a significant moment in his career, coinciding with his high-profile move to Ferrari for the 2025 Formula One season. The seven-time world champion's decision to leave Mercedes after over a decade has been one of the most talked-about moves in motorsport history.
In his Time interview, Hamilton expressed enthusiasm for this new chapter, describing his transition to Ferrari as “the biggest dream” and an opportunity to challenge himself in a fresh environment. “We’re in a time of reimagining the future, reimagining what really dreaming is about”, says Hamilton. “I’m going to Ferrari, man, and that’s the biggest dream”. The move has drawn both praise and skepticism, with some questioning whether Ferrari can provide him with a car capable of securing an eighth world title. However, Hamilton remains confident, emphasizing his passion for racing and the new challenge ahead.

The pre-season testing in Bahrain on February 27, 2025, further fueled excitement as Hamilton topped the morning session, demonstrating strong adaptability to his new car. His performance hinted at Ferrari's potential to be a serious contender in the upcoming season.
Beyond racing, Hamilton continues to make an impact off the track. His upcoming film project with Brad Pitt, centered on Formula One, is highly anticipated, with the goal of bringing motorsport to a broader audience. Hamilton, who is a producer on the film, has been deeply involved in shaping the story and ensuring it authentically captures the intensity, passion, and complexity of F1 racing.
As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Hamilton and his Ferrari debut. With renewed determination and a legendary team behind him, he is poised to make history once again.
