Lewis Hamilton is just a few weeks away from making his Ferrari debut.
Sir Jackie Stewart has expressed surprise at Lewis Hamilton’s decision to join Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season.
The move marks the end of Hamilton’s 12-year stint with Mercedes, where he secured six of his seven world championships.
The three-time world champion Stewart shared his assessment with Sky Sports, acknowledging the significance of Hamilton’s switch to the Italian team.
The British racing legend believes Hamilton’s vast experience in the sport could prove valuable at Ferrari, noting: “He’s more experienced than he was last year and the years before that, he knows the business very well.”

Stewart emphasised Ferrari’s unparalleled global recognition in motorsport.
“Ferrari is the biggest name in the world,” Stewart added.
“If you went to a Masai warrior in the middle of Africa and said, ‘Do you know anything about Ferrari?’ They would know the name Ferrari.”
Despite his initial surprise at Hamilton’s move, Stewart remains optimistic about the team’s prospects.
“Going to Ferrari is very colourful, very exciting and usually very successful. I wouldn’t count them out, to put it that way,” the three-time world champion added.
Ferrari will field one of F1’s strongest driver pairings in 2025, with Hamilton joining Charles Leclerc.

The Italian team has endured a lengthy championship drought, having not secured a constructors’ title since 2008.
However, Ferrari demonstrated their potential last season, narrowly missing out on the constructors’ championship.
They finished just 14 points behind McLaren in a closely fought battle for the title.
