Lewis Hamilton's 2025 Formula 1 season, his first with Scuderia Ferrari, represented a significant career transition that yielded a 6th place finish in the Drivers' Championship with 156 points, but notably concluded without a single podium or victory across 24 races.
Going in
The 2025 Formula 1 season marked a significant chapter in Lewis Hamilton's career, as he transitioned to Scuderia Ferrari amidst the established ground-effect regulations. Following Red Bull's dominant years in 2022 and 2023, the field had notably converged in 2024, setting the stage for what many anticipated would be a fiercely contested championship. Hamilton's arrival at Maranello carried the weight of expectation, not just for his personal quest for an eighth title, but also for Ferrari's ambition to return to consistent championship contention.
How it played out
The early phase of the season saw Hamilton and Ferrari navigating a challenging integration. A 10th place finish at the Australian Grand Prix was followed by a disqualification for "Illegal skid block wear" at the Chinese Grand Prix, erasing potential points. While the team showed flashes of competitiveness, particularly in the mid-season, the outright pace required to challenge for victories or even podiums consistently eluded them. Hamilton secured a series of solid points finishes, including two 4th places at Imola and Silverstone, and multiple 5th and 6th positions across circuits like Bahrain, Monaco, and Canada. Despite these efforts, the Ferrari SF-25 proved to be a midfield contender rather than a front-runner, culminating in Hamilton's 6th position in the Drivers' Championship with a total of 156 points, without a single win or podium finish throughout the 24-race calendar.
Defining moments
Several races underscored the season's narrative. The disqualification in China highlighted early technical challenges, while the mid-season stretch from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix to the British Grand Prix saw Hamilton consistently battling in the top six, securing 4th at Imola, 5th in Monaco, 6th in Spain, 6th in Canada, 4th in Austria, and 4th at Silverstone. This period demonstrated his ability to extract maximum performance from the car, even if a podium remained out of reach. Later in the year, incidents like the "Accident" at the Dutch Grand Prix and "Collision damage" at the São Paulo Grand Prix contributed to his three DNFs, further illustrating a season where opportunities for significant gains were often hampered by either car performance or race incidents. This contrasted with the consistent points scoring seen in , where reliability was a key factor.
