Despite sharing the record for most world championships with Michael Schumacher, Hamilton is no doubt aiming to claim the so-far unachievable eighth title in the final stages of his career.

The 39-year-old's own 2025 has already featured major changes, with the star sharing a picture of a young version of himself from his karting days, dressed in red, alongside a powerful message as one of his first actions as a Ferrari driver.

The sporting legend will also celebrate his fortieth birthday on January 7, 2025, with many more changes on the horizon as he adapts to a new racing environment with the Scuderia.

Despite Hamilton's continued focus on rounding off his stellar career, he has continued to pursue greatness outside of F1, with his project Mission 44 and non-alcoholic spirit brand, Almave.

Following in the steps of Hamilton's own inspirational New Years message, his Almave brand took to Instagram to share a toast for 2025, encouraging viewers to join a new club.
