Ferrari has offered some insight into Lewis Hamilton’s whirlwind day of immersion and introductions that unfolded on Monday at the hallowed grounds of Maranello.
The seven-time world champion arrived at the Scuderia’s base in signature style, elegantly suited and booted with a touch of Italian flair.
Basking in an atmosphere of palpable excitement, Hamilton was greeted by Ferrari personnel before he was whisked off to nearby Fiorano where he was welcomed by Scuderia team principal Fred Vasseur and Ferrari chief executive Benedetto Vigna.
Against the picturesque backdrop of Enzo Ferrari’s former home, Hamilton posed for his first official photos with his new team, while the overcast skies and light drizzle seemed to pay homage to his British roots.
In a fitting touch, a Ferrari F40 – the legendary supercar Hamilton has previously named his favorite – was prominently displayed, setting the tone for a day filled with a blend of history, tradition and forward focus.
Total Immersion in Ferrari Tradition
Hamilton visited the Fiorano house and pit garage, where he was shown the famed office once used by the Commendatore to oversee his team.
It was a poignant moment for a driver whose own career has defined modern Formula 1.
From there, the Briton returned to Ferrari’s headquarters to meet the management team and Piero Ferrari, the son of the company’s founder.
Hamilton’s agenda included a full day of “total immersion,” as he toured the various departments to familiarize himself with the team he will now call home.
Ferrari’s press release noted Hamilton’s eagerness to dive into preparations for what promises to be a pivotal season.
“The work continues tomorrow with more technical meetings and briefings as preparations get underway for what will be a very busy season.”
A Promising Start
Hamilton’s arrival marks the beginning of a highly anticipated partnership between one of Formula 1’s greatest drivers and its most storied team.
While the weather may have been quintessentially British, Hamilton’s reception in Maranello was quintessentially Ferrari—steeped in history, prestige, and a touch of theatrical glamour.
As Hamilton embarks on this new chapter, fans around the world are already imagining what the synergy between the seven-time champion and the Prancing Horse could bring.
And if the sight of Hamilton next to an F40 under a drizzle didn’t make the Tifosi’s hearts race, nothing will.
