FERRARI’S METICULOUS TESTING PROGRAM
Ferrari has outlined a detailed testing program to help seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton adapt to the team before officially kicking off the 2025 season. 🚀 With a strategically planned and “flexible” approach, Hamilton’s debut promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
1,000 KILOMETERS TO GET READY ✨🔧
The Brit will cover 1,000 kilometers over four testing days, giving him the opportunity to acclimate to Ferrari’s working system. These sessions will be crucial ahead of the launch of the new car, scheduled for February 18. 🗓️
The plan includes a filming day and pre-season testing in Bahrain, which will serve as the ultimate trial for Hamilton behind the wheel of the 2025 Ferrari. 🏁
THE TESTING SCHEDULE 📅🚗
Hamilton’s debut is projected for January 20 or 21 at the Fiorano Circuit, depending on weather conditions. Ferrari has prioritized flexibility to ensure dry track days with suitable temperatures. 🌤️
The program will then continue at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in late January, seeking more favorable weather. 🌡️ Ferrari has a four-day window there to maximize track time and adjust to any unforeseen weather challenges.
NEW FIA REGULATIONS: STRICTER TESTING CONTROLS 🛑📋
On December 11, the FIA introduced amendments to the sporting regulations, revising the conditions for TPC (Testing of Previous Cars). Under the new rules, current F1 drivers are limited to 1,000 kilometers annually, spread over a maximum of four testing days.
These restrictions aim to prevent unfair competitive advantages, following controversies like Red Bull’s Imola testinglast year, when Verstappen ran technical trials with the 2022 car.
ADAPTATION: THE KEY TO SUCCESS 🔑🏆
For Hamilton, every lap will be critical. Ferrari is determined to ease his transition and ensure he feels comfortable before the first official test in Bahrain. 🏜️ It’s there, with the 2025 car, that his true performance will begin to take shape.
HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR 2025 🌟🏎️
With Hamilton’s arrival, Ferrari is aiming to reclaim the pinnacle of motorsport. 🔴💪 Fans eagerly anticipate that this partnership could herald a new era of triumphs. Could Hamilton be the driver to restore glory to Maranello? 🤔 The clock is ticking, and the excitement is palpable! ⏱️💥
