The emotions of the first day: Charles Leclerc and that “dream” experienced at Fiorano, between Lewis Hamilton’s debut in a Ferrari and returning to an F1 car. The Monegasque couldn’t contain his emotions and shared the feelings he experienced on Wednesday. From the warmth of the fans to the first laps of his new teammate, it all points to an exciting season ahead.

Ferrari’s new year has officially begun. With the first laps on the Fiorano track, the Scuderia’s work is in full swing. The initial signs are promising, with enthusiasm, a thirst for redemption, and a hunger for victory evident from the outset on the Modena circuit. This energy was clear in the faces of the countless fans who came to witness Hamilton’s first time in red, as well as in the eyes of the drivers.

The challenge ahead is significant, and there’s no hiding from it. McLaren will line up on the grid as a potential favorite, with Max Verstappen’s Red Bull always lurking. But Ferrari will have its say, after demonstrating throughout 2024 that the team is united, focused, and capable of improving and correcting its mistakes race by race.

The moment is special for both drivers, with the real battle likely to unfold on the track. For now, #16 is enjoying the support of his fans and the arrival of a champion who, regardless of standings, has much to teach him.

“My dream starts again,” the Monegasque wrote on his social media. “It was great to get back behind the wheel and see all the fans at the track. It was a very special day for the team and for Lewis, and I was truly happy to be there to witness it. I can’t wait for the season to begin.”
