The Briton took the wheel of an Italian car for the first time on the Fiorano track.
Lewis Hamilton's great adventure at Ferrari truly began this Wednesday in Italy. The Briton, who arrived in Maranello, the team's headquarters, on Monday to get to know the teams, slipped into the seat of a red single-seater for the first time before carrying out a testing session.
After 18 seasons in Formula 1, the seven-time world champion drove a 2023 Ferrari SF-23. In videos posted on the social network X, we see the car spinning in the fog in front of fans who came in droves for this historic event. Lewis Hamilton has permission to complete 1000 km of private testing before the start of official pre-season testing.
The ex-Mercedes driver left the garage shortly after 9 a.m. with his traditional yellow helmet at the controls of the car equipped with rain tires with the number 44 stuck on the sides. A gentle first contact to get to grips with the 2023 livery of the Scuderia and familiarize yourself with its new environment.
-A meticulously orchestrated media arrival
Since its arrival on Italian soil on Monday, the Italian manufacturer has been orchestrating the big debut of its winter recruit by releasing a few rare photos to create the event. On Monday, he posed for a few photos before visiting the facilities, greeting his future collaborators, notably passing by the historic office of Enzo Ferrari.
