As expected, Lewis Hamilton's first appearance in Maranello was surrounded by real madness - and he hasn't even sat in the car yet, the seven-time world champion. He will do that on Wednesday, but the fans don't care, they are already in place, there is not a single free room nearby.
Of course, Scuderia Ferrari also informed about the big day, based on which we can get a detailed look at the new arrival's program:
“Lewis arrived at our Maranello headquarters in the morning and was given a tour. From there, the journey took him to the Fiorano circuit, where he saw Enzo Ferrari’s house and met Frederic Vasseur and Benedetto Vigna in the square named after another seven-time world champion, Michael Schumacher. The customary first photos were also taken here with Lewis’s favourite Ferrari, the F40.
They then toured Enzo Ferrari's home, including the famous office from where the founder oversaw the affairs of his team. Hamilton then returned to headquarters to meet with management and spent the rest of the day with Pietro Ferrari as part of a wide-ranging and in-depth programme.
He visited various departments, met with the team, and tested the seat. The work will continue tomorrow with technical briefings, which will begin the real preparation for the challenging season that awaits us,” said the Ferrari press office.
