Lewis Hamilton said he's "itching to get going" ahead of his Ferrari debut at this weekend's Australian Grand Prix

The build-up over the winter to F1's new season has largely been about Hamilton's move to Ferrari, with huge excitement about the seven-time world champion joining the sport's most famous team.

Hamilton has not been in a title fight since the controversial 2021 season after three mixed seasons at Mercedes, although he won two races in 2024 at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps.
