Watch Lewis Hamilton drive Ferrari Formula 1 car for first time

Lewis Hamilton made his maiden drive in a Ferrari Formula One car on Wednesday, 22 January, in what he described as one of the best feelings of his life.

It was the seven-time world champion's childhood dream to race for the Italian team.

The 40-year-old left his garage at Ferrari’s private test circuit in Fiorano at 9:16 local time in foggy conditions before posting 30 laps.

He will earn in excess of £100million across his new two-year deal with the Italian giants.
