As Ferrari plans to put Lewis Hamilton in one of its old cars as part of its Testing of Previous Cars (TPC) session to get him acquainted with Ferrari machinery

Lewis Hamilton will make his competitive Ferrari debut at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix in March, but the Italians have an extensive testing plan in place for before then

According to a report from Autosport, Hamilton will enjoy his first on-track action for Ferrari on January 20th or 21st. Fred Vasseur’s team reportedly plan to use their entire 1,000km TPC allocation on their new recruit in January, giving the 39-year-old the best possible start to life in Maranello.
