Lewis Hamilton's preparations for their first season in Formula One continues with the seven-time world champion that tests with Ferrari this week at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit.
Hamilton brought his time with Mercedes, who threw six world titles, at the end of 2024, and finally joined Ferrari after having agreed a clash agreement during the campaign.
But after his first taste with the most famous team in Formula one of all on his Fioran test track, for his base in Maranello, Hamilton's preparations continued on Tuesday.
After such a long and successful season with one side, the transition to a completely new operation is one that perhaps brings more difficulty than many could anticipate.
It is believed that the legendary Italian outfit is doing everything within his powers so that his new star accelerates along with his new teammate Charles Leclerc.
Both drivers spent Tuesday at a 2023 Ferrari at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit, and the British took over the second half of the day at the Spanish Grand Prix House.

By providing the weather, it is played in your hands, Ferrari will spend the next two days increasing your preparations for the next season.
Hamilton will seek to become familiar with its new configuration, with the hope of acclimatizing as quickly as possible to a new car and cabin configuration.
The 2025 campaign will also be the first time that Hamilton competes in a car with Ferrari, which again brings new changes for which it must be prepared.
In addition, the legend of British races must use these opportunities to build their relationship with the new career engineer Riccardo Adami, as well as Ferrari as a team.
The conductors are limited by a maximum of 1000 km of cars in cars previously used in Grands Prix, although it is reported that it had about 800 km of that remaining appointment before reaching the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit.
Hamilton and Leclerc will offer a first look at the new Ferrari by 2025 in February, when they run the car in Fioran.
Meanwhile, in Mercedes, the replacement of Hamilton, Kimi Antonelli, has passed his handling test, just a few weeks after his formula one debut with the silver arrows.
