Ferrari’s extensive run plan for Hamilton

The Italian outfit have planned𝐆 extensive testing to help Hamilton gear up for his first season ๊with the team.

Ferrari have booked the Barcelona circuit for at least four days at the end of the month to provide Hamilton with addꦛitional time in their older F1 machinery.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur insisted he 🎃is “not worried at all” about Hamilton adapting to his new ⛦environment after spending 12 seasons at Mercedes.

“We know that we haꦑve a lot of procedures to assimilate during this couple of days, but he is experienced enough to do 🗹it,” the Frenchman said.

“We have the advantage to have the simulator and he will be able to do a race simulation and 🎃a qualifying simulation in the simulator, and to be fully prepared with the steering wheel and all the particularities of the car. But I am not worried about this, and it is not the biggest challenge.”

Hamilton will make his first public appearance as a Ferrari driver alongside new teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc at ♑F1’s special season launch event at London’s O2 Arena o𒁃n 18 February.
