Ferrari fan punished for incident during Leclerc and Hamilton's testing
The excitement for Ferrari fans has been growing since the announcement that Lewis Hamilton will join the Italian team for the 2025 season. Fans recently gathered around the Fiorano circuit to catch a glimpse of the drivers testing their new cars, but one fan took his excitement to the next level.
Earlier in the week, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc drove the new SF-25 in a shakedown at the Fiorano with the loud support of the hundreds of fans surrounding the track.
According to a report from Gazzetta di Modena, a Ferrari fan who cut down a tree to get a better view of the Ferrari testing has been fined.
While the crowd of Tifosi loudly enjoyed watching the cars, this fan took matters into his own hands, armed with a stepladder and cutters. The excited fan was videoed climbing up a stepladder and chopping branches off a tree so that the fans could have a better view of the circuit. However, it has been reported that this fan has since been identified and fined by local authorities for damaging nature. The total amount of the fine is not known.
