A huge majority of Formula 1 fans have backed Lewis Hamilton to claim his first win for Ferrari within the first six grands prix of the 2025 season.
In a RacingNews365 poll, fans were asked how soon they believe the 40-year-old will take to claim his first Ferrari victory.
The vast majority of those who voted believe it will not take the seven-time world champion long to taste success in red, with 72.4% backing him for a win in the opening rounds.
Should the 105-time race winner not claim a victory before the Miami Grand Prix, then 14.2% expect Hamilton to win a race between the seventh and 12th rounds.
Interestingly, the next option which received the highest votes at 5.4% was that the veteran will never secure a victory for the Maranello-based team.
Hamilton has been backed by many to be involved in the title fight this season, should he start his first year with Ferrari full of confidence.
Ferrari is expected to be towards the top of the pecking order, putting Hamilton in an excellent position to contest for an unprecedented eighth drivers' title.
