The marriage of the century in F1 between Scuderia Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton is finally complete. The seven-time world champion arrived in Maranello earlier this week to visit the team's facilities and meet the teams. From this meeting, many photos emerged that you can discover in this article.
Since January 1, Lewis Hamilton has been a Scuderia Ferrari driver. Except that the British driver only arrived in Maranello at the start of the week. The result was a communication operation skillfully orchestrated by the driver and the Italian team. And the first images literally broke the Internet on Monday. The first photo of Lewis Hamilton in front of Enzo Ferrari's house and an F40 generated 5.2 million likes on the Instagram account. The one where he poses with Fred Vasseur in front of the brand's founder's house garnered more than 2 million “likes”. The very first photo of Sir Lewis Hamilton in his new suit will undoubtedly break records. Published Tuesday evening, it has 3.4 million likes, 11 hours after its publication.
A busy first day
Before getting into the red single-seater and the simulator, Lewis Hamilton visited the Italian team's facilities. He met the engineers there formally. He also agreed to a photo shoot to immortalize this unprecedented marriage in Formula 1 between the most successful driver and the most famous team in the world. An outdoor photo shoot carried out on the square… Michael Schumacher, the other Scuderia Ferrari legend of the modern era of the discipline.
-World title objective
The collaboration between Lewis Hamilton and Scuderia Ferrari has only one long-term objective: to get back on the path to the world title. The British driver is no longer able to fight for the title since the fantastic finale of the 2021 season against Max Verstappen. Scuderia Ferrari has been waiting for a constructors' title since 2008 and a drivers' title since 2007 and Kimi Raikkonen. If the goal is achieved before Hamilton retires (in 2026 or 2027), the marriage will have been successful and Hamilton will become the most successful driver in history. First response in mid-March for the Australian Grand Prix.
