Lewis Hamilton is conducting his long-awaited debut outing in a Ferrari car as preparations towards his first Formula 1 season with his new team in 2025 continue.
Hamilton’s much-anticipated maiden appearance in a scarlet red machine arrived almost 12 months on since it was announced that he was moving to Ferrari.
The Briton took to the track in Ferrari’s 2023 car, the SF-23, around the team’s Fiorano test track, sporting the yellow helmet with red accents that he had revealed earlier on.
