Following his first triumph with Ferrari at the bittersweet Chinese Grand Prix, where he won the Sprint Race displaying masterful tire management, Lewis Hamilton is set to grace the cover of the EA Sports F1 25 Iconic Edition.
Surprisingly, despite his seven world championships, Hamilton has never been the sole cover star of the series. His historic move to Ferrari, uniting one of F1's greatest drivers with its most fabled team, certainly deserves 'Iconic' status.
"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."
Though he has consistently featured since F1 2015, Hamilton's move to Maranello was a highlight of the 2024 season, sparking substantial movement across teams. Following a rocky 10th place finish at the Australian Grand Prix, Hamilton's fortunes improved during the Chinese Grand Prix, where he won Ferrari's first-ever F1 Sprint Race. However, his sixth-place finish in the main race was marred by disqualification due to his car's excessive skid wear, ending the weekend on a sour note with an unprecedented double disqualification for Ferrari.
EA Sports has deviated from their tradition of Champion's Edition, typically celebrating the previous season's winner, to focus on capturing the excitement and significance of Hamilton’s move to Ferrari.
Hamilton collaborated closely with photographer Campbell Addy on the cover, which aims to convey pride, prestige, and excitement. More details on EA Sports F1 25 will be revealed soon.
A new era begins as Lewis Hamilton lands his first-ever solo cover in the EA F1 series. The seven-time world champion, known for his dominance on the track, now takes center stage in F1 25.
