Pre-season test days are not only busy for the drivers on the track, but also in terms of media engagements.
Especially after a sensational pre-season like Lewis Hamilton's transfer to Ferrari in 2025. It was the first time the Briton was in the public eye and spoke honestly about what he expects from this exchange:
"When I extended my contract, I was still imagining my future with Mercedes, my whole career. Then this year the opportunity came and I felt like it would have been a mistake to miss it. It was the hardest decision I've ever made... But I think every driver, somewhere, gets emotional when they see Michael Schumacher in a Ferrari and think about what it would be like to experience that. And when I think about winning the Italian Grand Prix, in front of a lot of Tifosi dressed in red, as their driver... It must be amazing! This team hasn't had any real success for a long time, you have to go back to 2007 or the Schumacher era to read the history books. I have to admit, it's an incredible motivation for me, I would like to be the man who completes this mission!" , declared the seven-time world champion.
