A change has been confirmed to Charles Leclerc ’s testing programme with Ferrari, prompted by a huge incident caused by Lewis Hamilton. The Formula 1 world champion has recently undergone his first tests with Ferrari, alongside team-mate Leclerc, where they both shared the SF-23 over the course of three days in Barcelona.

Seven-time Formula 1 champion and newly acquired Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton will join teammate Charles Leclerc in Barcelona to begin testing for the 2025 season on Tuesday. The former Mercedes legend took his first photos "in red" last week, but officially hits the track for 186 laps of testing at Barcelona with Leclerc from Jan. 28-30.

Lewis Hamilton's second day of testing in the Ferrari SF-23 was not as smooth as the first, as the seven-time F1 champion and Ferrari rookie crashed into barriers at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Wednesday. According to the official website of Formula 1, Hamilton was unhurt in the team's private test.
