An "unusual" number of visitors are expected at Fiorano for Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari test. A journalist claims that Italian police are concerned because they believe the situation poses a serious security risk...
Journalist Roberto Chinchero spoke on an F1 podcast about how we should prepare for incredible scenes of chaos in Maranello and Fiorano. Chinchero is probably not talking nonsense, as he is a local and knows the temperament of the Tifosi and the Italian people in general. He is not the only one worried:
"Scuderia Ferrari fans in Italy are eagerly awaiting the moment when Lewis Hamilton will get into a red car. In fact, I can't imagine what awaits us in Maranello and Fiorano. There will be an incredible amount of people on the streets, which, in a certain sense, also poses a security risk. The local police are not calm, which I can fully understand, they will have a serious task. Of course, this is not surprising, the press has contributed a lot to this, and not only motoring/motorsport magazines.
The mainstream media is constantly preoccupied with Hamilton, which has further amplified the already considerable interest..." - said Chinchero.
