It was an announcement that transcended the sports world and carried over into the world at large. Family members and friends who knew nothing about Formula 1 were asking for a comparison, and the idea of Tom Brady leaving the New England Patriots for the New York Jets, or the Dallas Cowboys, was quickly offered as a comparison.

The reaction to Lewis Hamilton’s first drive in a Ferrari left one of his F1 rivals shocked. This week the seven-time world champion drove for the Italian team for the second time, taking part in three days of testing in Barcelona.

The incident happened during a three-day test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in the team’s 2023 F1 car.

Ferrari have officially ended a set of pre-season tests, after a mixed week of running in Barcelona. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc both got some track time in the 2023 edition of the team's Formula 1 car, the SF-23, at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Lewis Hamilton, now with Ferrari after his move from Mercedes, has shared his first post since a minor crash during testing.
