Ferrari reportedly makes major 2025 overhaul with ‘Project 677’ for Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton‘s shocking late-career switch to Ferrari is still one of the major sporting news this season. The Briton has high hopes of improving inclusivity and equality in Ferrari’s Italian-dominant squad. Hence, amidst the preparations for Hamilton at Maranello, the team unveiled their first design of the 2025 chassis with multiple revisions to the current setup.

The F1 2025 chassis project is codenamed Project 677 as Ferrari fastens the process of chassis building. The outfit’s chassis will follow in the footsteps of dominant Red Bull and McLaren’s setup with the pull rod front suspension. This change is expected to bring massive aerodynamic benefits to the car with better airflow at the front.

Ferrari’s daring change in chassis setup for the coming season is set to be influenced by the Brit’s arrival at Maranello. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton share a similar driving style and would complement each other well. Moreover, the cooling system will be changed with the positioning of the internal gearbox set to be revised as well.

Hence, the prodigy was the obvious replacement for Ferrari-bound Lewis Hamilton. The 39-year-old claimed that he had been aware of Antonelli’s promotion for a long time.

Despite being in the known, the Mercedes star felt a surreal feeling during the official announcement and labeled it an emotional moment. I’ve known [about Antonelli’s promotion] for ages. I knew it would be announced this morning.

I definitely woke up and it was very, very, very surreal to just have, at least officially confirmed, my seat is going that I held onto for so long. So it was quite emotional this morning, but I’m really, really happy for Kimi and for this team – I know Kimi is going to do a great job. Lewis Hamilton told planetf1.
