Lewis Hamilton’s debut: updates awaiting his arrival and first Ferrari run – LIVE. Lewis Hamilton is now ready to kick off his adventure with Ferrari.

It’s a matter of hours, no longer days. The British star is expected in Italy shortly and is set to begin this new chapter of his career. For this reason, we’ve decided to provide live updates on Lewis Hamilton’s first moments with Ferrari: from his arrival in Maranello to his debut at Fiorano.

There is still no confirmation of the exact date when the seven-time world champion will take his first laps on Ferrari’s historic track. Much will depend on the weather, as the Scuderia leadership wants everything to be perfect given the historical and sporting significance of the occasion.

Before hitting the track, car number 44 is expected to spend some time in the simulator. The goal is to familiarize him with Ferrari’s philosophy, which is different from what he was used to at Mercedes.
