Hamilton Completes Testing with Ferrari for 2025 F1
Summary
Lewis Hamilton has completed his four days of Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) with Ferrari, marking a significant step in his preparation for the 2025 F1 season. His testing journey began at the Fiorano circuit before moving to Barcelona, where a crash briefly interrupted his sessions. In response to concerns from Ferrari about competitors using TPC tests for development, new regulations were introduced to limit testing mileage. As a result, Hamilton has reached the maximum allowed limit of 1,000 kilometers and will no longer participate in TPC tests, while teammate Charles Leclerc and reserve drivers still have opportunities available.
Despite these limitations, Hamilton's preparations are not finished. He is set to participate in the official pre-season test in Bahrain later this month, following a filming day during Ferrari's car launch. Hamilton's previous testing included sessions in Ferrari’s modified 2024 car for a tire test, and he will soon drive the newly launched 2025 car during a shakedown. Expressing confidence in his integration into the Ferrari team, Hamilton is focused on maximizing the opportunities ahead as he gears up for the upcoming season.
