A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Despite trailing teammate Charles Leclerc across both Friday sessions in Australia, Lewis Hamilton is hopeful he can have strong first weekend racing in Ferrari colours.
Speaking to Sky Sports the seven-time world champion was happy to make his first meters in the Scuderia's SF-25 in the 2025 season. "It’s (been) a super exciting build-up to this week and it felt amazing to get out there and be in a Ferrari here."
'The car felt different, but getting faster bit by bit'
During winter testing in Bahrain, Hamilton seemd to be able to extract a bit more performance from his Ferrari than he did during the first two practice sessions in Australia. "Honestly, the car felt so much different to what I’ve ever experienced coming to this track, so it took a little bit of bedding in through FP1."
However, in FP2 the Briton managed to clock in the 5th fastest time, closing the gap to the front-runners. "FP2 was definitely a little better but just building. We’re slowly building and getting a little bit faster bit by bit," a hopeful Hamilton concluded.
