Lewis Hamilton has completed his first outing as a Ferrari driver during a testing of previous car (TPC) at the team’s Fiorano test track. The seven-time world champion has made the move after 12 seasons with Mercedes and has been at Maranello all week to start working with his new team. He unveiled his 2025 helmet design featuring his iconic yellow color scheme, reminiscent of his earlier career days. Hamilton took to the track at Fiorano in Ferrari’s SF-23 car, making early installation laps before switching to slick tires. The test is crucial for Hamilton’s preparations for the new season, as he adapts to new team dynamics and technical aspects different from Mercedes. This TPC running also allows Hamilton to assess his comfort in the car and iron out any issues ahead of the upcoming Bahrain pre-season test, as Ferrari limits TPC running for race drivers like Hamilton. With interest high in his move to Ferrari, Hamilton aims to secure his eighth drivers’ championship to surpass the legendary Michael Schumacher’s record, garnering attention particularly in Italy.
