Ferrari have altered the cockpit position of their car for the F1 2025 season, it has been claimed, as the team prepare to welcome new signing Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes. It comes after Hamilton complained that the cockpit of his Mercedes was too close to the front wheels in his penultimate season with the team in 2023.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has acknowledged the "excitement" of Lewis Hamilton's arrival at the team, as he officially became a Ferrari driver on January 1, 2025. However, Vasseur asked his staff to remain focused on the job from day two to prepare for the season that lies ahead to secure a better position on the grid than it finished in the previous year.

Fred Vasseur has urged his Ferrari team to keep their feet on the ground despite the “excitement” of Lewis Hamilton officially joining the Italian oufit. After 12 years with Mercedes, seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton officially joined the Scuderia on 1 January ahead of the 2025 season.

Lewis Hamilton's long-awaited move to Ferrari is now official, and he marked the occasion with a couple of brief posts on social media.
