The wait for Lewis Hamilton in Red: The mystery of his first test with Ferrari
Today at 11:08 AM
Lewis Hamilton’s debut at the wheel of a Ferrari has been a topic of discussion for some time. However, why are both Ferrari and Hamilton remaining silent on this matter?
Rumors about the first day the British driver will drive a Ferrari have been circulating for a while, and not without reason. Lewis Hamilton, the most famous Formula 1 driver in the world, will be driving for Ferrari, the most iconic Formula 1 team, in 2025. This combination generates immense global attention. Given Ferrari’s significance, it's no surprise that various dates have surfaced. Many in Maranello are aware of the conversations with Hamilton, the simulator sessions, and a test drive on the Fiorano circuit. Therefore, it's not surprising that this information has leaked.
Ferrari, however, is keeping silent for a specific reason. Announcing the day Hamilton will first drive a Ferrari would lead to a massive influx of unauthorized individuals trying to access the track, causing traffic disruptions. When will we see the British driver in action with Ferrari for the first time?
The Ferrari Fiorano circuit is located in the heart of a small town, with public roads on both sides. Ferrari cannot close these roads for Lewis Hamilton's first test, so the dates he will be in action are not disclosed by the team. However, it is inevitable that various dates will still leak.
According to the Italian website Autoracer.it, Lewis Hamilton will be in action during a three-day test at Fiorano from January 21 to 23, following his initial days of work at Ferrari’s Maranello factory. This aligns with earlier reports suggesting a test for the British superstar in the same period. Behind the wheel of the F1-75, Lewis Hamilton will undoubtedly wear his Ferrari suit. On that occasion, Ferrari's new livery and those of all other teams will be unveiled. The drivers will also be in London on February 18 for the F1-organized event. A day later, according to several media outlets, Hamilton will again be in action at Fiorano, but this too has not been confirmed by Ferrari. On that day, the team is expected to present the new car.
One thing is certain: the debut will happen, and it will be a memorable day for fans and for Lewis Hamilton himself.
