Lewis Hamilton Begins a New Chapter with Ferrari in Maranello

Lewis Hamilton has officially started his journey with Scuderia Ferrari, marking the beginning of what he described as a "new era." Nearly a year after the announcement of his move to Ferrari, Hamilton made his first public visit to Maranello, Ferrari’s historic headquarters.

To commemorate the moment, Hamilton shared a photo of himself standing outside Enzo Ferrari’s old house, accompanied by a Ferrari F40—his favorite supercar. In his caption, Hamilton wrote, “There are some days that you know you'll remember forever. Today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days. I couldn't be happier to realize that dream today." He concluded his message with optimism, saying, “I can’t wait to see what story we will write together.”

Immersion into the Ferrari World

Hamilton’s first day in Maranello marks the start of what Ferrari is calling a "total immersion program." This week-long initiative will see the seven-time world champion dive into various aspects of the Ferrari organization. The program includes introductions to different departments, technical meetings, and briefings, as well as opportunities to connect with Ferrari’s senior management, including Vice Chairman Piero Ferrari, the son of the legendary Enzo Ferrari.

A Debut in Red: Testing the Ferrari F1 Car

One of the highlights of Hamilton’s initiation is expected to be his debut behind the wheel of a Ferrari Formula 1 car. While details remain under wraps, it is likely that Hamilton will test the 2023 car, as it now qualifies under Formula 1's Testing Previous Cars (TPC) regulations. The laps will take place at Ferrari’s private Fiorano test track in Maranello, though the exact timing of this event is being kept secret to avoid drawing large crowds to the area.

A New Chapter to Watch

With this test and many other events planned during his first week as a Ferrari driver, the motorsport world is buzzing with anticipation. Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has been one of the most talked-about transitions in recent Formula 1 history, and fans are eager to see how this partnership unfolds.
