At least they are acting at Scuderia Ferrari as if Lewis Hamilton had won seven world titles with them and was now preparing for the eighth. While there is a rookie in the team, a certain Charles Leclerc...
But the situation is exactly the opposite: at Ferrari Hamilton is the rookie, while Leclerc is the "veteran", and it is not at all certain that the currently hyper-hyped world champion will be able to keep up with him. It is a bit embarrassing that the social media profiles of one of the most famous teams in the world function practically 0-24 as Team LH FAN SITE - while Leclerc is barely spoken about. Sure, we understand, business is business, now is the time for it, but somehow it still arouses mixed feelings in this person.
However, strictly based on facts, Lewis Hamilton completed his first laps with Ferrari today, taking the SF23 out on track, in which he completed 30 laps. The Briton completed ten-lap stints, practice starts, on different compounds, in adverse weather conditions.
After him it was Charles Leclerc's turn, who did not fit slicks, completing his first "installation" laps of 2025 entirely on wets. Despite this, Charles was definitely at ease, and he also delighted the large crowd that had come for Hamilton's debut with a little extra show, which the public naturally welcomed with enthusiasm... Continuation shortly, with significant work.
