(After the first 8 Races).As of the first 8 races of the 2025 Formula 1 season, Lewis Hamilton has impressively scored more points with Ferrari than he did with Mercedes in the same period last year — and it’s turning heads across the paddock. This marks a dramatic turnaround in fortunes for the seven-time world champion, who made the bold move to Ferrari after over a decade with the Silver Arrows.
In 2024, Hamilton’s early season with Mercedes was plagued by an underperforming car, inconsistent upgrades, and an overall lack of competitiveness. The W15 struggled to match the pace of Red Bull, McLaren, and even Ferrari. After eight races, Hamilton had only managed a modest haul of points, leading many to question whether his championship-winning days were behind him.
Fast forward to 2025, and it’s a different story. Ferrari, rejuvenated with improved aerodynamics, strong race strategies, and a more stable car, has provided Hamilton the platform to showcase his legendary skill. He’s been consistently fighting for podiums, and even wins, reestablishing himself as a serious contender.
Hamilton’s early success with Ferrari is more than just a statistical improvement — it’s a statement. It proves that his move to the Scuderia wasn’t just a sentimental choice, but a strategic one aimed at revitalizing his career and chasing that elusive eighth world title.
The chemistry between Hamilton and Ferrari seems to be building fast, and with Carlos Sainz’s departure, the team appears fully committed to supporting the British driver. With more than half the season still to go, fans and critics alike are watching closely — and so far, it looks like Lewis Hamilton’s gamble is paying off. Could this be the start of a historic final chapter in his already legendary career? Time will tell.
