Lewis Hamilton's first day on the track for Ferrari is now complete. At the Fiorano circuit, near the Maranello factory, the seven-time world champion drove 30 laps, with thousands of fans coming to watch the new superstar in the Italian camp. Here's how Hamilton's first day of racing as a Ferrari driver went in photos!
Even before Hamilton had got himself onto the track in the SF-23, he had already set a new record in Formula 1 with Ferrari. His photo in front of the building in Maranello became the most liked Formula 1-related photo on Instagram ever, he dethroning his new teammate Charles Leclerc in the process. Ferrari shared photos of the session after Hamilton's Wednesday morning test.
It wasn't just on Monday morning when the seven-time world champion was welcomed at Ferrari, but on Wednesday morning, just before the first F1 test on behalf of Ferrari, many frenzied fans lined the circuit in Fiorano to welcome the 40-year-old to the Scuderia.
