    Superb video post. SKY F1 has some nice footage as well. Great to hear the F1 car again and its a Ferrari. Even if a 2 years old. Nice day for fans of Ferrari!

    His father was there as well according to SKY F1 reports. Nice that he has family to be a part of an event like this for him.

    Or the memory of Niki after his first ever laps at Fiorano: "Zees ees eine scheissbox! Vee need to improve effryzing right avaey!":eek::D

    On the subject of Peugeot road cars as team service vehicles: when I interviewed Forghieri in 2007 -a fabulous experience- he said he was flying around so much for his duties that he sometimes did not know what country he was waking up in!...and there was very little budget before the 1969 Fiat majority share sale hence he and mechanics were sleeping in cars at the circuits...so he said; "If I woke up in a Chevrolet station wagon I knew I was in Watkins Glen or Sebring and it it was a Peugeot station wagon I knew I was at Reims, Villars Ollon or the Nurgburgring!"

    We saw how max resorted to bonzai passing and blocking when his car isn't the fastest out there.

    So Lewis got fog and Charles got rain! Not ideal conditions, but I’ve been on that bridge overlooking Fiorano many times and I’m sure the fans all had a great time today. Great to see so much enthusiasm!

    There are good reasons to not drive a Ferrari everywhere (actually Hamilton arrived in an Alfa Romeo) and before the Fiat take over, a Peugeot was as a good option as anything else. Even then, one time the Old Man got an honorary degree or something like that he made his driver park a few blocks away from the place to not be seen arriving in a non-Italian car.

    And a report by respected Italian publication Auto Racer has claimed that Hamilton, 40, could relocate to live closer to Ferrari’s headquarters in F1 2025.

    It is said that the seven-time World Champion ‘will move near to Maranello in order to be close’ to Ferrari during ‘the most intense work phases’ of the season.

    A villa in Tuscany, not much hardship for Lewis.

    If he adds a 5 word Italian vocabulary to it, they'll love him forever.

    Lewis at Ferrari so far just feels like a media fashion / Instagram "model" shoot... Lets all wait and see how it progresses and ends!

    Lewis:

    "I’ve been lucky enough to have many firsts in my career, from the first test to the first race, podium, win and championship, so I wasn’t sure how many more firsts I had," Hamilton said. "But driving a Scuderia Ferrari car for the first time this morning was one of the best feelings of my life.

    "When I started the car up and drove through that garage door, I had the biggest smile on my face. It reminded me of the very first time I tested a Formula 1 car, it was such an exciting and special moment, and here I am, almost twenty years later, feeling those emotions all over again."


    Hamilton went out of his way to greet the tifosi at the edge of the track after his test run was completed, and said he was "energised" by their famed passion.

    "I already knew from the outside how passionate the Ferrari family is, from everyone in the team to the tifosi," the seven-time world champion said. "But to now witness it first-hand as a Ferrari driver has been awe-inspiring.

    "That passion runs through their veins and you can’t help but be energised by it. I’m so grateful for the love I have felt from everyone in Maranello this week, we have a lot of work to do but I can’t wait to get started."

    The lad is full of so much ****.. Lets all stop pandering to this crap..

    His dream road car was the Mclaren F1, his favourite driver is Senna and all he wanted to do was drive for Mclaren.. Lewis hated Ferrari and Schumi...

    Can't wait for Charles to end this nonsense..

    It's going to get very dark when Lewis gets pushed into retirement.

    Hamilton added that racing against Schumacher “doesn’t do anything for me whatsoever” whereas having the chance to race against his hero Ayrton Senna would have been “special”.
