Lewis Hamilton's first Formula One season with new Ferrari has been simulated, and the results are shocking.
Hamilton broke the internet last week after photos and footage of his first week driving for Ferrari emerged online.
Ever since the Brit made the shock announcement that he would be leaving Mercedes to join the legendary F1 team last year, fans have been eager to see how the seven-time World Champion will perform for Ferrari.

So, with over a month until the season officially gets underway, we took to the official F1 24 game to simulate Hamilton's first season with his new team
After seeing footage of Hamilton's first test laps at Ferrari, popular F1 pundit Martin Brundle revealed that he felt that we've already seen the best of the Brit, and that he's unlikely to challenge for the 2025 title.
And it seems that Brundle's prediction could come true, as F1 24 has predicted Hamilton to finish all the way down in 10th during his first season with Ferrari.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, four-time World Champion Max Verstappen once again came away with the title, finishing on top of the table with a massive 501 points, 64 more than he achieved last season.
Meanwhile Hamilton earned just 170 points, having claimed just one race victory across the entire season, after beating the Dutchman at the Canadian Grand Prix.
The Englishman achieved just three other podium finishes across the season, coming third in Melbourne, Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi.

Charles Leclerc, Hamilton's teammate at Ferrari, came closest to Verstappen in the Drivers Championship table, finishing 155 points ahead of the Englishman with a total of 325.
According to the simulation, Hamilton's first season with Ferrari could be set to get off to a disastrous start after his first race ended in a DNF.
But possibly Hamilton's lowest point of the season came in his home race at Silverstone where, despite winning the race last season, the Englishman finished bottom of the points in 10th, while countryman Lando Norris took home the trophy.
