You just know pandemonium will strike when word gets around of Lewis’ first outing for Ferrari.
Two weeks have passed since Lewis Hamilton started his anticipated final chapter in Formula 1 by leaving Mercedes to join Ferrari, marking one of the biggest driver transfers in the history of the sport. As the most successful driver in F1 history with seven titles, Hamilton holds numerous records for victories and pole positions. It is yet to be determined if Hamilton can regain his past championship-contending form after three challenging seasons with Mercedes under the current ground-effect regulations. Despite this uncertainty, the Tifosi – Ferrari’s devoted fan base – eagerly anticipate seeing Hamilton in a red race suit and at the wheel of the 2023 car as he integrates with the team for the upcoming season-opening event in Australia. Italian F1 journalist Roberto Chincherro notes a growing “Hamilton mania” in Italy and expects a massive turnout at Ferrari’s Fiorano track for Hamilton’s first test, causing potential chaos for local law enforcement. With media coverage increasing, Italian fans eagerly await the sight of Hamilton fulfilling his dream of racing for Ferrari as the new season approaches.
