In a bid to fully integrate Hamilton, Ferrari is currently engaged in limited testing due to F1's strict regulations, which permit current drivers to accumulate up to 1,000km of running in previous models. Hamilton had already participated in 30 laps at Fiorano prior to this testing phase. The team is prioritizing the establishment of a solid working relationship between Hamilton and race engineer Riccardo Adami, along with the engineering crew, as they prepare for the season opener at the Australian Grand Prix on March 14-16. Ferrari's 2025 car will be launched on February 19, coinciding with the F1 season's launch event in London, while additional testing sessions are planned next week in Barcelona.
