A dedication worth framing: Lewis Hamilton’s signature on a restaurant napkin in Fiorano is thrilling Ferrari fans. Despite a less-than-stellar debut in Melbourne, the Briton is increasingly embracing his new environment and Italian culture. He now seems even more comfortable with the language, which has become almost perfect.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned over the years from watching Lewis Hamilton, it’s that he knows how to endear himself to fans. His demeanor, body language, and almost always positive words make it hard not to appreciate the seven-time world champion, especially now that he is no longer a fierce rival on track.
Ferrari fans know this well, as they have warmly welcomed #44 into the passionate world of the Tifosi. While waiting for on-track performances—closely tied to the “blocked” potential of the SF-25—to reward the unwavering support of those who consider the Prancing Horse a religion, the Briton continues to settle into his new professional environment between Milan, Maranello, and Fiorano.

It’s the little gestures that count and touch people’s hearts the most. The owners of “Ristorante Montana” in Fiorano know this well, having welcomed Lewis Hamilton into their establishment, already a favorite among motorsport personalities and beyond. Among the many memorabilia displayed on the restaurant’s walls, a new and heartfelt dedication has now appeared.
“To Rossella, thanks for the chibo! Delicious!” is what Hamilton wrote on a napkin, in almost perfect Italian. The photo has already made the rounds on social media, while the Briton heads to China, where he hopes to bring Ferrari fans another—his first, on track—moment of joy.
