Ferrari's Formula 1 team have teased a Lewis Hamilton-related upgrade as their preparations for the 2025 season ramp up.

The 39-year-old has joined the iconic Italian outfit as of a few days ago, and will no doubt be eager to chase championship success once again, currently tying Michael Schumacher for the most championship titles.

The seven-time champion heads to Maranello for a change of scenery following 12 years with Mercedes where he achieved six drivers' titles and eight constructors' trophies in the most successful pairing the sport has ever seen.

Hamilton will now face the challenge of adapting to a new team alongside new team-mate Charles Leclerc, who will be used to racing alongside a champion having previously partnered Sebastian Vettel in 2019 and 2020.
