Lewis Hamilton’s first day in Maranello was a whirlwind of emotions and family portraits. The seven-time world champion posed with numerous members of his new Ferrari family, including Fred Vasseur and John Elkann. But that’s not all—Hamilton was also photographed inside the Maranello factory.
After the photo published on the morning of Monday, January 20, a post followed featuring several pictures taken during his first day in red. The first photo Hamilton chose for his post was with Vasseur, his new team principal, and Benedetto Vigna, Ferrari’s CEO.

Hamilton also posed with John Elkann and several members of the Scuderia. The series concluded with a photo of fans who had gathered to welcome him to the home of the most successful team in the world. The warm sentiments toward Ferrari continued.
“Day 1. I am grateful to John Elkann, Benedetto Vigna, and Fred Vasseur for their trust in me and for making me part of this family. I am excited to start this new era and to meet and work with a group of extremely talented and inspiring people who have warmly welcomed me. Additionally, I am determined to give everything I have to achieve results for the team, the entire organization, and the fans.”
“There are days you know you’ll remember forever, and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days. I have been fortunate to achieve milestones in my career that I never thought possible, but part of me has always held onto the dream of driving in red. I couldn’t be happier to realize that dream today.”
“Today marks the beginning of a new era in the history of this legendary team, and I can’t wait to see what story we’ll write together.” This was the caption of the first post where Hamilton posed with Ferrari.
