Anyone who is a follower of F1 may already be aware of the news: Lewis Hamilton has left his long-time seat at Mercedes-Benz and signed a deal with Ferrari. With his new car comes a new home – the latter of which happens to be one of the most iconic residences in Modena, belonging to Enzo Ferrari, no less.
Hamilton, winner of seven championship titles, is only the second driver to uphold the honor (Michael Schumacher was the first driver to live in the residence during his Ferrari contract). Fittingly, Hamilton and Schumacher are similarly tied for the most driver championships in F1 history, a tie Hamilton is looking to break later this year.
As one might expect, the home is a trove of timeless Italian decor trends, from the antique furnishings to the exposed wooden beams on the ceiling. However, in true Ferrari style, the interiors come with a bold twist.
The second and third slides in the photo carousel below show how the brand's signature hue creates vibrant accents around the otherwise neutral spaces. There is a bright red table, along with Ferrari artwork, seen in a space that could pass as a dining room – while the living space has retro-style light and upholstered orange chairs. The result is cozy but contemporary and, as expected, a true homage to the brand.
Meanwhile, the home's exterior is just as quintessential (and continues to pay tribute to Ferrari). With a stucco and brick exterior and tiled roof shingles, the classic facade celebrates the brand's commitment to design. The signature red is seen, once again, on both the front door and the window shutters, while the yellow flag hangs in the center of the property.
'There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever, and today, my first as a Scuderia Ferrari HP driver, is one of those days. I’ve been lucky enough to have achieved things in my career [that] I never thought possible, but part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realize that dream today,' Hamilton shared upon his arrival in Maranello on January 20th.
'I’m incredibly grateful to John Elkann, Benedetto Vigna, Fred Vasseur, and everyone at Ferrari for their trust in me and for making me part of this family. I’m so excited to start this new era and to meet and work with a hugely talented and inspiring group of people. I’m dedicated to bringing everything I have to deliver for the team, the wider organisation and the fans. Today, we start a new chapter in the history of this iconic team, and I can’t wait to see what story we will write together.'
