Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari: Intensive Preparations for the 2025 Season

Lewis Hamilton will carry out four days of testing with Scuderia Ferrari in preparation for the 2025 season. This intensive training will take place at the legendary Fiorano circuit, with the British driver expected to take the wheel of a Ferrari in the final January days. During these tests, Hamilton will cover a total of 1,000 kilometers aboard a car from previous seasons, taking advantage of each turn on the track to familiarize himself with his new equipment and surroundings.

This testing program is key for Hamilton to adapt not only to the handling of the Ferrari, but also to the environment and working together with his new technical and engineering team. Scuderia Ferrari has designed this time exclusively to benefit the seven-time world champion, ensuring that he is in optimal condition before the start of the season.
Due to this planning, Charles Leclerc will not have participation in these sessions and will take the wheel for the first time in 2025 after the official launch of the season's car, scheduled for next February 19. This approach will allow Ferrari to work strategically with Hamilton, optimizing every minute of his time on the track.

Ricciardo Adami will be Lewis Hamilton race engineer

On the other hand, Riccardo Adami, the Italian race engineer who has been part of Scuderia Ferrari for more than a decade, will be in charge of working closely with Hamilton from the 2025 season. Adami has an impressive career within of the team, having collaborated closely with big names such as Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz in previous seasons.

This move marks a new beginning for both, as Adami will bring his extensive technical experience and knowledge of the team to support the British driver in his first year with Ferrari. His mission will be fundamental: to ensure that Hamilton is able to quickly adapt to the work system and maximize the performance of the car in this new stage of his career.

With these preparations, Ferrari seeks to strengthen its position as a title contender and capitalize on Hamilton's experience to return to the top in Formula 1. Fans around the world are already eager to see the Briton's performance with the italian team and how this combination can redefine the category landscape in 2025.
