Hamilton Optimistic After Early Ferrari Testing Sessions
Lewis Hamilton is set to get behind the wheel of Ferrari's 2025 challenger at Fiorano following the F1 75 launch, marking his first official run in the car that will carry his championship hopes for the season.
Although this will be his first experience driving the latest Ferrari machine, Hamilton has already logged laps in older Scuderia cars during private tests in Barcelona, including Pirelli tyre evaluations. However, one of his test outings was briefly disrupted by a crash.
Despite the minor setback, Hamilton has provided encouraging feedback on his initial experience with Ferrari machinery, suggesting that the groundwork is in place for a strong start to the season. His confidence in the team's potential appears undeterred, as he continues to familiarize himself with the car's characteristics.
As he integrates into the Maranello-based squad, Hamilton will work closely with a seasoned engineering team. He is set to inherit the same crew that previously supported Sebastian Vettel, with Riccardo Adami serving as his primary race engineer throughout Grand Prix weekends.
