According to a report in Italian media, Ferrari has set about erasing Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes memory with a rigorous Formula 1 simulator programme.
Lewis Hamilton made his debut with Ferrari this week, officially starting his new journey after 12 seasons with Mercedes. His transition involves understanding a new way of working in Italy, starting with meeting his new colleagues in Maranello and testing the Fiorano circuit. Ferrari’s engineers are aiding his adaptation by running him through simulations to acclimate him to the team’s processes and erase his Mercedes simulator memory. This reset includes tweaking the SF-24 specifications to challenge Hamilton’s skills and keep him engaged. Despite the successful legacy of the Mercedes/Hamilton partnership, Ferrari is determined to carve its own path by providing Hamilton with a tailor-made experience. With Hamilton’s excitement evident during his first drive with Ferrari, the partnership seems poised for success as they write a new chapter in Formula 1 history.
