Lewis Hamilton has started his first test in a Ferrari Formula 1 car, driving a 2023 model at the Fiorano test track.Currently one of Ferrari’s race drivers, Hamilton has a limited mileage total for the year due to regulations governing old car running.His run in the Ferrari is crucial for him to get comfortable with key factors such as his seating position and the general feel of the car.It also provides him with the opportunity to work with his engineering team and acclimate to the Ferrari engine, transitioning from the Mercedes power he’s known throughout his F1 career.Hamilton has not participated in the post-season tyre test in Abu Dhabi last December, making this run in the Ferrari even more important for him to build familiarity and expertise before the 2025 season kicks off.
