Hamilton shares first look at striking helmet design for new Ferrari chapter

Lewis Hamilton has offered fans a glimpse of an overhauled helmet design as he enters his next phase at Ferrari – taking full advantage of the brand’s famous colours.

In a week of updates from Maranello, where Hamilton is going through pre-season preparations, the seven-time World Champion shared a photograph of a striking yellow and red helmet.

It is a clear move away from the design he used during his final season with Mercedes in 2024, which combined yellow, purple and black elements.

Hamilton’s helmet reveal adds to a photo shared across his and Ferrari’s social channels on Tuesday night that showed the Briton wearing red overalls for the very first time.

Wednesday also brought Hamilton’s eagerly anticipated first run in Ferrari F1 machinery, with fans waiting patiently at the team’s dedicated Fiorano test track to see him in action.
