Today marks the official beginning of the Lewis Hamilton era at Ferrari. This long-awaited partnership has been official for over a year and has been eagerly anticipated by both parties. In Italy, there is enthusiasm and curiosity about the results this collaboration between two Formula 1 legends will bring, with the shared goal of winning both the World Drivers’ Championship and the Constructors’ Championship.
As anticipated last week, the first day of work for the seven-time world champion is Monday, January 20, 2025, featuring a simulator session and numerous meetings with Ferrari engineers and employees.
The aim is for Hamilton to quickly integrate into his new environment, following an initial informal meeting that took place during the winter break. After the holidays, as confirmed by CEO Benedetto Vigna, Lewis Hamilton has finally arrived in Maranello.
This morning, for the first time, he crossed the gates of Scuderia Ferrari as an official Ferrari driver. Hamilton is scheduled to conduct his first test at the wheel of a Ferrari at the Fiorano Circuit on January 22. His first formal meeting with the engineers is set to take place soon, around 11:30 AM, to begin planning for the new season.
