Lewis Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari has alerted the police: everything is set for the first laps at Fiorano in a Ferrari F1 car. Almost a year after the surprise announcement from the previous season, the “unrealizable dream” is about to become a reality. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion from Britain will soon be in a Maranello car, making his first laps on track in front of the Ferrari fans.
The long-awaited moment is finally approaching. A year ago, in the cold and empty January of Formula 1, few could have predicted what was about to happen. An announcement that took everyone by surprise, even some of the directly involved, and that shocked the Formula 1 world: Lewis Hamilton’s departure from Mercedes and his move to Ferrari.
This agreement has been widely discussed, and opinions vary. Some still argue that it’s just a marketing stunt, seeing the best years of the British driver already behind him. However, the dream of an eighth world title is more alive than ever. It’s too early to talk about it, and sometimes it’s wise to be superstitious. But the hope of being one step away from history is firmly present in the hearts of Ferrari fans.
The Date of Lewis Hamilton’s First Test at Fiorano
Even before the presentation of the new Maranello car – the now-famous Project 677 – Lewis Hamilton will be on track at Fiorano. He will get behind the wheel of one of the Ferrari cars from recent years to get a feel for the handling of the Scuderia. This first test will take place on January 22, weather permitting.
Local authorities are already preparing for the event. A large influx of fans is expected, which will need to be managed carefully to avoid excessive traffic and mobility issues. The hope is that the occasion will be a grand celebration for both young and old: a seven-time Formula 1 world champion will be back behind the wheel of a Ferrari.
