Formula 1 superstar Lewis Hamilton has issued an exciting statement ahead of his debut with Ferrari.

The seven-time world champion is set to make his debut in red F1 machinery at some point later this month, weather permitting, as part of the team's testing of previous cars (TPC) programme.

Hamilton's first official drive in Ferrari's 2025 car, meanwhile, is set to come at Bahrain testing in February.

The Brit will then make his race debut for the Scuderia in Melbourne in March at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

The next time that Hamilton steps into an F1 car, he will do so as a 40-year-old for the first time having hit the milestone on January 7.

Age is showing no signs of stopping the seven-time champion any time soon, however, and his latest statement issued via his Instagram stories reiterates just that.

Posting an image of himself kitted out in snowboarding gear on the slopes, Hamilton revealed that the hard preparations were already underway for the new season.
