And Sky Italy’s Vicky Piria has shed some light on how Hamil🐽ton’s first week at Ferrari was received in the team’s home nation.

“Well, everybody’s so ex🌟cited and it actually surprised all of us, even us from Sky Italy,” Piria 🤡told Sky Sports News reporter Craig Slater.

“I mean people have been here since five in the morning, waitin💖g here, keeping their place and it’s just been a really good atmosphere, like a party and everybody just reall𝓡y getting excited for the season.

“I think with a good end of the season also with Ferrari that gave high hopes and then there’s🎃 been a lot of waiting.

“Because this announcement c🥂ame the 1st of ﷽February last year, so I mean the Tifosi had to wait quite a lot of time before this could actually happen.”

Hamilton was seen making some small errors on his initial laps as he struggled in 𒅌the low grip conditions.

Piria, who is also a racing driver, believes this simply shows Hamilton was starting to experiment with the car to get𝓡 a better understanding of it.

“Even though ✃it was really damp, wet and really cold,♒ we saw Lewis try different stuff,” she explained.

“We saw him work a bit witღh the E-Diff, we saw him work with the brake bal🐠ance, saw some locking. He wasn’t just going around and doing installation laps, he was actually trying things.

“Not pushing pushing, but trying things. That’s him getting into the momentum, understanding things, the settings on the steering wheel and ho🐠w they work. They learn everything on the sim but then actually transferring the feelings onto the real track.

“So it’s really forward motion for him because it’s not much before Australia꧅.”
