Lewis Hamilton drove his new Ferrari Formula One car for the first time on Wednesday and said the team had everything they needed to win the championship and were ready to do so.
The 40-year-old Briton told reporters in a video call from Maranello that he was more hopeful than ever of claiming his eighth title. After the previous night’s glitzy Formula 1 season launch in London, Hamilton got behind the wheel of the new Ferrari SF-25 at the team’s Fiorano test track.
Thousands of fans – most clad in Ferrari red – had gathered outside the fences surrounding the track to get a glimpse of their new hero.
Hamilton acknowledged he was still acclimatising to his new surroundings – the driver was staying in his motorhome by the test track to speed up integration – but replied simply “yes” to a question about Ferrari’s readiness.
“I’ve worked with two world-championship-winning teams before. I know what a winning team looks and feels like,” added the driver who won his first title with McLaren in 2008 and the rest with Mercedes.
