🤪Hamilton described his first test as “awe-inspiring” and “one of the best feelings of my life”.

"When I started the car up and drove th🎉rough that garage door, I had the biggest smile on my face,” Hamilton said.

"It reminded me of the ver🍨y first time I tested a Formula 1 car. It was such an exciting and special moment, and here I am, almost 20 years later, feeling those emotionไs all over again.

"I already knew from the outside how pas♐sionate th🥀e Ferrari family is, from everyone in the team to the tifosi [fans].

"But to now witness it first hand as a Ferrari driver has been awe-inspiring. That passi💖on runs through their veins and you can't help but b🌊e energised by it.

"I'm so grateful for the love I have felt from everyone in Maranello this week, we have a lot of work to do but I can't wait t🌺o get started."
