Next week, Lewis Hamilton will be at Fiorano to officially test the F1-75, with the issue of public order being an important consideration.
Ferrari has not yet officially confirmed the date on which Lewis Hamilton will test the F1-75 at Fiorano, and it seems that the decision by the Scuderia from Maranello is based on a very specific reason: the public order issue.
The arrival of the seven-time world champion at the private circuit of Ferrari represents a worldwide event (not only from a sporting perspective), and the chances of Lewis receiving an incredible crowd reception are very high.
For weeks, rumors have been circulating about Hamilton‘s possible schedule, and according to AutoRacer, the British driver’s agenda should look like this: on January 20, he will test the simulator, while on the 22nd of the same month, it will be time for laps at the Fiorano circuit, with Hamilton wearing the red suit for the first time.
Ferrari’s utmost secrecy, therefore, stems from the “positive” concern of facing a real wave of fans (and curious onlookers) who will flock to the Fiorano circuit to witness a historic moment—an anticipation not seen in the Maranello environment for a long time.
