Lewis Hamilton Shines as Ferrari’s Iconic Cover Star in EA Sports F1 25

Following his impressive debut with Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has been announced as the sole cover star for the EA Sports F1 25 Iconic Edition. This marks his first solo appearance on the cover of the EA F1 series, a significant milestone in his illustrious career.

A Historic Moment for Hamilton

Hamilton’s move to Scuderia Ferrari has been one of the most talked-about events in the 2024 Formula 1 season. The seven-time world champion’s switch to F1’s most iconic team has brought a new level of excitement to the sport. His recent Sprint Race victory in China, showcasing his legendary tire management skills, further solidified his status as one of the sport’s greatest drivers.

"Moving to Scuderia Ferrari HP is such an exciting new chapter of my career, and it feels incredible to have this moment represented on the EA Sports F1 25 Iconic Edition cover," Hamilton stated. "I’m so energized and hungry for this next part of my Formula One story and love that racing fans and players get to experience that with me through the game."

A Rocky Start, But a Promising Future

Hamilton’s start with Ferrari was not without its challenges. After a disappointing 10th place finish at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix, he bounced back in China, securing his first Sprint Race victory with Ferrari. However, the weekend ended on a bittersweet note, as he was disqualified from the main race due to excessive skid wear on his car.

Breaking New Ground in the EA F1 Series

While Hamilton has been featured on the EA F1 series covers since F1 2015, this is the first time he has appeared solo. The Iconic Edition cover captures the pride, prestige, and excitement surrounding his move to Ferrari, marking a departure from previous Champion’s Editions that celebrated the previous season’s title winner.

Behind the Scenes

Hamilton worked closely with photographer Campbell Addy to bring the cover to life, favoring walking and seated poses that ultimately made the final cut. The result is a stunning visual representation of his historic career move.

What’s Next?

As the 2025 Formula 1 season unfolds, fans can look forward to more thrilling performances from Hamilton and Ferrari. With his passion and determination, Hamilton is poised to make this chapter of his career one of the most memorable yet.
