LEWIS HAMILTON’S first race as a Ferrari driver has been “leaked” by an iconic Formula One track. There has been no confirmation yet on the venue of the 2025 season opener. Australia previously hosted the season opener for F1 seasons between 2011 and 2019. Between 1996 and 2019, Albert Park in Melbourne played host to F1 season openers in all but two years. In a statement issued by Mercedes, Hamilton, 39, said he was committed to finishing the season with Mercedes before taking on a new challenge. “Mercedes has been part of my life since I was 13 years old. He impressed on his debut season last year and has the potential to be a world champion. A good debut season in F2 could sway Mercedes into taking a risk on him for 2025.
