The first day as a Ferrari driver is now behind him, bringing with it a high emotional load. After the formal greetings, it’s time to get to work for Lewis Hamilton, who can’t wait to get on the simulator and then hit the track at Fiorano for a test where he will drive a Ferrari car for the first time.
In recent days, there has been much discussion about the possible date of the famous first lap in Red. Most likely, the date will be set for January 22, despite weather conditions that may not be ideal.
The Maranello team will have the chance to gather initial feedback from the seven-time world champion before the second test at the Barcelona circuit. Two occasions in which Charles Leclerc will likely be involved as well, as he wants to closely observe his new teammate.
What car will Lewis Hamilton drive?
Fans have been wondering for days which car Lewis Hamilton will drive in his first test at Fiorano as a Ferrari driver. The two main candidates are the F1-75 and SF-23, although Ferrari itself has addressed this question.
In the video published on social media showing Hamilton’s first day as a Ferrari driver, there is a clue that hasn’t escaped the most attentive fans.
From the winglets on the sidepods and the flow deviators near the ZCG sponsor, it is easy to infer that the British driver will take to the track with the SF-23.
