It is already a reality. We will have to wait until 2025 to see Lewis Hamilton dressed in red since it was confirmed that the British will not participate in post-season testing after the Abu Dhabi GP in December.
The seven-time champion, who signed for the ‘Scuderia’ before the start of the current season, has a farewell ceremony with Mercedes this same December 10.
Therefore, Ferrari’s plans, as reported by ‘Autosport’, are for Hamilton to drive with the 2022 F1-75 during a private test in Fiorano before the official test in Bahrain.
This was confirmed by the team leader, Fred Vasseurin statements to ‘Motorsport’: “I don’t think it takes thousands of hours to get acclimated.”
“He is experienced enough to be fast from day one, or at least very fast. We will have one or two days of testing with an old carplus the official Bahrain test and that will be enough. We already have part of the team focused on 2025, on the testing plan, communication and Lewis is already part of that,” he added.
