At least that's how they act at Scuderia Ferrari, as if Lewis Hamilton had won seven world titles with them and was now preparing for his eighth. While there is a newcomer to the team, a certain Charles Leclerc...
But the situation is exactly the opposite: At Ferrari, Hamilton is the newcomer, while Leclerc is the "veteran", and it is certainly not at all certain that the now famous world champion will be able to keep up with him. It is also a little embarrassing that perhaps the most famous team in the world has its social media platforms practically running 0-24 as Team LH FAN SITE - while Leclerc is barely talked about. Of course, we understand, business is business, now is the time for it, but still, this stirs up a strange feeling in this person.
But, strictly based on the facts, Lewis Hamilton went through his first laps with Ferrari today, taking the SF23 out on the track, with which he completed 30 laps. The Briton completed ten-lap stages, carried out start practice, on different compounds, in difficult weather conditions.
Then it was Charles Leclerc's turn, who didn't have slicks, doing his first "test" laps on rain tires. However, Charles was quite in his element and gave the fans gathered for Hamilton's debut a little extra show, which, of course, was received with enthusiasm by the people... To be continued soon, with serious work.
