Ferrari has confirmed the dates for Lewis Hamilton’s second testing session with the team before his first F1 season. The test will take place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from January 28-30. Hamilton and his teammate Charles Leclerc will have the opportunity to drive a 2023 SF-23 or a 2022 F1-75 on the closed-door test. The test will count towards their overall 1000km allocation per year, as per the Testing of Previous Cars rule. Hamilton previously tested the SF-23 and completed 30 laps at Fiorano, using up around 90km of his allocation. After Ferrari’s second test, a Pirelli tyre test is scheduled for February 4-5, where Hamilton will drive the SF-24 from last year.
