Lewis Hamilton's first day as a Scuderia Ferrari driver has officially begun. The seven-time world champion embarked on his new chapter with "total immersion" at the iconic Maranello headquarters, a moment he described as a lifelong dream realized.
Greeted by team principal Fred Vasseur and CEO Benedetto Vigna, Hamilton toured the hallowed grounds of Ferrari, paying respects at the Enzo Ferrari Museum and posing for photos with the legendary F40 supercar in the Michael Schumacher Square – a poignant reminder of the shared record for most drivers' championships.
The day involved meetings with senior management, including Enzo Ferrari's son Piero, and extensive interactions with various departments within the team. Hamilton expressed his immense gratitude for the opportunity and his unwavering commitment to delivering success for Ferrari.
"I’m incredibly grateful to John Elkann, Benedetto Vigna, Fred Vasseur and everyone at Ferrari for their trust in me and making me part of this family," Hamilton stated. "I’m so excited to start this new era and to meet and work with a hugely talented and inspiring group of people."
Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari has generated unprecedented excitement and anticipation. The partnership between the most successful driver in F1 history and the sport's most iconic constructor promises an electrifying era of competition. As Hamilton prepares for his first test with the team later this month, the world eagerly awaits the unfolding of this new chapter in Ferrari's illustrious history.
