Lewis Hamilton had his Ferrari engineers make several adjustments following his initial on-track running with the famed Formula 1 Italian giants.
Last week in Maranello, Tifosi were eager to see Lewis Hamilton’s first laps in the Ferrari SF-23 at the Fiorano test circuit. Hamilton covered 89km, around 30 laps, to adjust to the new F1 surroundings, but encountered difficulties with the pedals. Despite experimenting with setups, they couldn’t find a solution on track. Ferrari has reportedly since resolved the issue. Hamilton made his debut in the SF-23, completing installation laps, practice starts, and meeting fans, ahead of further testing in Barcelona and participation in a Pirelli tyre test in February. Next steps include livery and car launches before the official pre-season test in Bahrain, with additional simulator training to acclimate Hamilton to Ferrari systems.
