Lewis Hamilton says his first win for Ferrari 'couldn't be closer' after going second in championship with strong Monaco showing

Lewis Hamilton has secured back-to-back second-place finishes to move up to second in the 2025 Formula 1 Drivers' Championship, his best run of form since joining Ferrari from Mercedes. The seven-time world champion, who endured a difficult debut season with the Italian team in 2025, claimed his first Ferrari podium in China in March and says a first race win for the team 'couldn't be closer.' Hamilton will next compete at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
