Lewis Hamilton’s legendary Formula 1 career entered a thrilling new chapter on Wednesday morning as the seven-time world champion took to the track for the first time in Ferrari red.
The fog hung heavy over Fiorano when Hamilton emerged on the track shortly after 9am local time, adding a mystical air to the Scuderia’s venue.
But the dampness couldn’t extinguish the excitement expressed by those who had descended upon Maranello to catch a glimpse of their new hero, their passionate chants echoing through the Italian countryside.
A Special Morning at Fiorano
Donned in Ferrari red and sporting a bright yellow helmet, Hamilton’s opening laps were run on Pirelli’s wet demo tyres, as the team conducted initial systems checks on the SF-23.
Ferrari has reportedly organized a full day of activity at Fiorano, with Hamilton slated to drive not only the 2023 car but also the F1-75, the team’s 2022 contender, as part of a filming day.
