Video – Lewis Hamilton's long-awaited first laps behind the wheel of a Ferrari

@DPPI

The tranquility of Maranello has been particularly troubled in recent days by the arrival of a distinguished guest. Lewis Hamilton set foot in the Ferrari city for the first time in front of cameras, which revealed the first images of the Briton in front of Enzo Ferrari's house, a photo that set social networks alight.


The second image, jointly posted by the driver and the team, showed what the tifosi had been wanting to see for almost a year and the announcement of his arrival: Lewis Hamilton wearing the traditional red Ferrari overalls. No more editing needed to finally see the marriage of two of the greatest names in the history of the F1, but the most anticipated was the first laps of the seven-time world champion at the wheel of a Ferrari.

A first day of testing at Fiorano for Hamilton

The Briton took to the Fiorano track for the first time shortly after 9am on Wednesday, in front of a crowd of tifosi gathered on the bridge overlooking the circuit. Lewis Hamilton will have a day of TPC (Testing of Previous Cars) on the 23 SF-2023 and the 1 F75-2022, which he will share driving time with Charles Leclerc.

The old pilot's videos Mercedes cutting through the fog of Fiorano will forever remain the first images of his time at Ferrari, before being able to see him officially on track during the pre-season tests in Bahrain (February 26-28).

It brings back good memories of the fences of Fiorano. Maranello is unique in the world.

In any case Algeria is much stronger than France in all levels. Without gas from DZ France would already be frozen by the cold. Especially in the North there is no sun while in the South there is at least a little.

Question: Will the Scuderia withdraw from the X network?
