Lewis Hamilton will reportedly do some simulation work for Ferrari on January 20 before driving the 2022 F1-75 at the Fiorano Circuit on January 22 as part of a TPC test.
It’s also likely he’ll meet with engineers and mechanics as the Italian team appears to have a familiarisation meeting scheduled.
The seven-time F1 champion is preparing to start a new chapter in his illustrious career as he officially becomes a driver for Scuderia Ferrari from 1 January 2025.
The Briton has made an informal visit to Maranello but a formal introduction is yet to take place.
Before the drivers gather in London for the F175 launch, the Italian team has organised a special training session to help Hamilton become familiar with the car.
According to Autoracer, a 40 -year -old man is expected to arrive at Maranello this week. Probably, he will conduct a simulation test of Challenger 2025 on January 20th on the team’s team.
It is reported that Hamilton will go to Fileri, which has already been reserved by Ferrari from January 21 to 23, from January 21 to 23.
The British driver is set to drive the previous model, the F1-75, in the TPC test on January 22, marking his first outing with the Prancing Horse.
The programme is however subject to change in the event of adverse weather conditions. It seems that the FIA has set a 1000km limit for vintage cars used in TPC tests. Lewis Hamilton will therefore have little time to adapt.
In addition, once his duties on the track are completed, the Briton will meet with the team’s engineers and mechanics, which will be his first team meeting.
Hamilton is also expected to welcome new racing engineer Riccardo Adami, and Ferrari appears to have pulled out all the stops to give him a grand welcome.
Once testing is complete, he will likely take part in a special launch event on February 19, where Ferrari will unveil its rival for the upcoming 2025 season.
The city of Maranello seems to be abuzz with excitement ahead of Lewis Hamilton’s long-awaited testing debut.
Teams are reportedly planning a match period from January 20th to 22nd, and fans can’t contain their excitement.
Reflecting on the Hamilton frenzy in Italy, F1 journalist James Allen said on the F1 Podcast (via PlanetF1): There’s already a kind of Hamilton fever going on in Italy.
I can’t imagine how many people there will be on the track. I expect the streets of Maranello and Fiorano to be full of people, expecting something they haven’t seen for years.
It will be a difficult job for the police.
The seven world champion Lewis Hamilton has benefited from the large base of fans around the world, including Italy.
As a result, the catchy reception of the fan is expected, but Eldo, 40 years old, is preparing for a symbolic beginning in red costumes.
