Lewis Hamilton ’s father says his son has “trained like mad” ahead of his debut Ferrari F1 season. The seven-time world champion completed 30 laps of Ferrari’s Fiorano test track on Wednesday as he made his high-profile on-track debut for the Scuderia following his blockbuster move from Mercedes.

It was this kind of wonder that Hamilton, a seven-time world champion who has seen and won it all in Formula One, sought when he decided to move to Ferrari. For all the success he enjoyed with Mercedes, nothing could match the history and the magic of F1 ’s most iconic team.
