HAMILTON: ‘It’s something I’ll never get used to and I’ll never forget’
Lewis Hamilton was shocked after the first laps in Ferrari’s new car SF-26 with 2026 regulations. The seven-time British champion was particularly impressed by the support from tifosi, which he described as “unforgettable”.
On Friday morning, Ferrari introduced its first car under the new power unit rules at the Fiorano test track, and then the first race took place. As usual, Tifosi appeared on the track a few hours before the start, creating a unique atmosphere for the team and drivers.
Hamilton was the first to take to the track with the new car, and then Charles Leclerc took over the leadership. Both drivers waved to the fans during the race, and Fiorano’s configuration allowed them to feel the atmosphere of support especially closely.
“Last year I drove a red car for the first time and it was incredibly unique, it was like a first experience and it will always be a first.
However, in this car, it is obvious that the cockpit is quite bright due to the external appearance, and this is great. The good thing is, you always hope you’ll fit in when you come back. Luckily I adapted completely.
I don’t know, it’s so exciting to start the car and feel the new vibrations of the car throughout your body. Then the doors open and you go to the first corner where you can literally see Tifosi.
“This is something I will never get used to and something I will never forget.”

Drivers react to team’s radical decision on F1 testing
Williams’ drivers Carlos Sainz and Alex Albon reacted on social media to the news that the team will not compete in the closed pre-season test to be held in Barcelona next week.
The British team will miss the first test under Formula 1’s new technical rules. Related media state that Williams has recently had difficulty passing the FIA’s mandatory crash tests and has therefore decided not to take to the track in Barcelona.
A special five-day test is planned for next week at the Barcelona circuit, with each team able to practice for three days. Williams will instead carry out a series of internal tests, including a VTT (Virtual Test Track) programme, to prepare the FW48 for the first official test in Bahrain and the start of the season in Melbourne.
Pilots shared the team’s statement on their Instagram stories. Sainz’s article is as follows:
“We are determined to work until the end! I can’t wait to hit the track soon!”
Albon, who is preparing for his fifth season with Williams, added:
“It’s not the start of the year we wanted, but it’s what happens when you push yourself to your limits! Full concentration forward!”
Despite the optimism of the drivers, missing some of the pre-season testing represents a serious setback and failure for Williams.
