Lewis Hamilton said after taking Ferrari's new race car through its first paces at Maranello that the SF-25 was good but it was still too early to say whether it could win him his record eight Formula One title, CE Report quotes ANSA.

"The car is good.

It's still early and I can't say too much but today we had no problems.

It's my first Ferrari and it's hard to believe. I'm living every moment intensely", said the Briton, 40, who won as many championships as Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher with Mercedes before having a recent lean four-year stretch amid Max Verstappen's dominance with Red Bull.

"The difference with Mercedes? It's very different from when you put on the suit and helmet", explained the British driver.

The seven-time world champion is now working alongside 27-year-old Monégasque Charles Leclerc, now a Ferrari veteran.

"I really like working with Charles. Even before we talked a lot on and off the track: music, fashion. But here the working environment is fantastic", the Stevenage born ace concluded.
