Stefano Domenicali opens up on excitement over ‘spectacular’ 2025 season, the new rookies and F1’s future

Date:

“I’m very excited because I have the feeling there will be more drivers, more teams that will fight,” he explained. “Five new drivers into the field, with the enthusiasm [and] new energy they are bringing into the paddock, and on the track there will be… I would say something spectacular. I think that we’re going to see [in] every race a different situation.”

Another key change for this season has been the arrival of Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, a blockbuster move that shocked the F1 world when it was announced back in February 2024.

“For sure for Lewis it’s a new journey, a new journey that will give him a lot of boost, a lot of energy,” Domenicali commented. “I think that the adjustment that he has to do, not only on the driving side with the car but also in terms of integrating himself in a different community, will be easy.

“When you have inside the right fire to make sure that this experience will be positive, you’re going to dedicate yourself night and day, and that’s what he’s doing. He told me that he’s sleeping in Maranello, he told me he has seen what Ferrari means for the people of Italy.”

In terms of whether Hamilton can taste victory in his first campaign for the Scuderia, Domenicali responded: “I think so. I think it will be great, I have to say, with my independent cap! I think it will be good for the team, good for Charles [Leclerc] to keep pushing himself and it will be good for the entire field of F1 teams.”
