Hamilton and Leclerc to attend Ferrari event in Milan

According to AutoRacer, the Piazza Castello in Milan will host an exclusive event on Thursday March 6 at 4pm, where Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc, alongside Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, will take to the stage to greet fans.

Adding to the excitement, there will also be a street demo, where the single-seater Ferrari will be driven in front of F1 fans, with 'Hamilton mania’ once again promised in Milan.

"There will be a big event in Milan and it will be very nice," Leclerc told media at pre-season testing regarding the event, going on to praise Hamilton for his impact on the fans, in a Sebastian Vettel comparison: "The last time I took part in something so important in Milan was in 2019 in Piazza Duomo with Vettel, it was impressive.

"I'm sure it will be just as impressive this year, I can't wait. Beyond the event, we will have many laps to do on the simulator trying to work on the details that could make the difference in Melbourne: now we know what the sensations are in reality and we will be able to make correlations with those we have on the simulator to work on the details."
