At least that's how they act at Scuderia Ferrari, as if Lewis Hamilton won seven championships with them and was now going for an eighth. While the team also has a newcomer, a certain Charles Leclerc...
But the situation is exactly the opposite: Hamilton is a rookie at Ferrari, while Leclerc is an "old fighter", and it is not at all certain whether he can keep up with the now over-celebrated world champion. And it is sometimes a little embarrassing that the social media of perhaps the most famous team in the world practically functions as Team LH FAN SITE 0-24 - while Leclerc is hardly mentioned at all. Of course, we understand, business is business, now is the time for it, but it still gives rise to conflicting feelings in a person.
Well, but they stick strictly to the facts, Lewis Hamilton completed his first drives with Ferrari today, taking the SF23 to the track, with which he completed 30 laps. The Briton completed dozens of laps, performed starting exercises on different compounds, in bad weather conditions.
Then it was Charles Leclerc's turn, who no longer had slicks on, drove on rain tires the entire time and completed his first "preparatory" laps in 2025. Despite this, Charles was in his element and pleased the beautiful crowd of fans who gathered for Hamilton's debut with a little extra show, which people of course welcomed with enthusiasm... To be continued soon, with real work.
