Hamilton began his day with a brief visit to the Fiorano track, where he took in the facilities and prepared for his future with the iconic team. Following this, he engaged in discussions with Piero Ferrari, which were instrumental in solidifying his connection to the storied racing brand.
Describing his feelings about the day, Hamilton stated, “There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever and today, my first as a Scuderia Ferrari HP driver, is one of those days. I’ve been fortunate to achieve things in my career I never thought possible, but a part of me has always held on to that dream of racing in red. I couldn’t be happier to realize that dream today.”
At 40 years old, Hamilton is set to test a Ferrari car from either 2022 or 2023 in Fiorano over the coming days, marking a significant transition in his illustrious career. Announcing his move last year, Hamilton confirmed he would be leaving his long-time team, Mercedes, to join Ferrari, a team synonymous with passion and a rich legacy in motorsport.
This new alliance is highly anticipated by fans and experts alike, as it not only represents a fresh start for Hamilton but also rekindles the excitement of one of racing’s most revered names.
