Ferrari has shared a video of its SF-25 car being fired up for the first time ahead of the new season.

The challenger will be Hamilton’s first for Ferrari, with the seven-time champion making the switch from Mercedes following a highly successful 12-year stint.

Hamilton has already had his first experiences behind the wheel of Ferrari machinery – however this was through older cars at private tests.

The Briton will drive the 2025 F1 car for the first time on February 19 at the Fiorano circuit when it will have its first shakedown.

The car itself will be first seen through rendered images published online on February 18, the same day the new Ferrari livery will be unveiled on a show car at the F1 75 event.

Below, you can hear the new Ferrari car fire into life – will it bring an end to the Italian squad’s title drought?
