Lewis Hamilton broke the internet a year ago today, with a special social media post that remains a clear record holder.
One year ago today, Lewis Hamilton made headlines by posing outside Enzo Ferrari’s house in Modena, sporting a Ferragamo three-piece suit next to an F40. His Instagram post from January 20, 2025, broke records in Formula 1 with 5.7 million likes and 25 million views. This moment symbolized the pressure on Hamilton to revive Ferrari’s success after a lengthy championship drought. Despite his grand entrance and commitment to the Scuderia, Hamilton faced a disastrous 2025 season marked by no podium finishes and a sixth-place championship standing behind teammate Charles Leclerc. The year’s challenges were due to the SF-25’s technical flaws and Hamilton’s struggle to adapt to the new car’s demands.
