Lewis Hamilton was absent during Ferrari ’s most recent F1 tyre test in Fiorano, where Charles Leclerc and Guanyu Zhou instead took to the track in a modified SF-25. Following his axe from Sauber at the end of 2024, the Chinese driver has since taken on the role of reserve driver at Ferrari and finally made his debut in scarlet on Thursday.

Lewis Hamilton co-produced the upcoming film, F1. The movie stars Brad Pitt and will release on June 27. Behind-the-scenes photos show Hamilton working with the cast and crew. He is seen in conversation with Damson Idris.
