Fans are livid after pointing out one major flaw in Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari car

Fans pointed out the one major flaw with the new Ferrari car which Lewis Hamilton will drive after making the move to the iconic Italian racing team.

After leaving Mercedes at the end of the 2024 F1 season after activating an exit clause in his contract, Hamilton has realised his childhood dream by penning a huge deal with Ferrari, said to be worth £40 million per year.

Hamilton has participated in test sessions with his new team, while he's also had his official photoshoot in his new colours ahead of the new season.

But on Tuesday the seven-time world champion made his first public appearance as a Ferrari driver, as he and new teammate Charles Leclerc entered to a thunderous ovation at the F1 75 launch event at the O2 Arena in London.

As was the case with all of the teams, Ferrari's car for the 2025 season, the SF-25, was unveiled in dramatic fashion on the stage and there was plenty of positive reaction to the creation.

However, amongst those on social media, plenty took issue with the fact that the car's engine cover had a white stripe which they felt ruined what would have been a near-perfect design.

Ferrari have had white stripes on their vehicles in years gone by but this time around the livery proved to be the talk of the town on social media.

One fumed: "The continued terrible decisions at Ferrari makes me want to [sick emoji]. That STRIPE!!!"

A second said: "What is up with that white stripe on the Ferrari?"

A third added: "I know Ferrari have done Red and White in the past, but that white stripe on the engine cover just doesn't work."

Another agreed: "Definitely not keen on the white HP stripe down the back of the Ferrari. Kind of disfigures the classic design."

A final user wrote: "The shade of red is beautiful but is ruined by the white stripe and the stupid hp logo, what a letdown by Ferrari."

Addressing the 15,000 fans in attendance, Leclerc admitted that he saw the car at the same time as everyone else.

Hamilton, who is vying to win a record-breaking eighth world title, said he feels "reinvigorated" after making the switch to the Scuderia.

He will drive the new SF-25 at Ferrari’s own launch in Fiorano on Wednesday before embarking on pre-season testing in Bahrain in next week.
