Lewis Hamilton will fully embrace testing and simulator commitmen🃏ts at Ferrari, it has been claimed.

H𓃲amilton’s reputation as an F1 driver who doesn’t enjoy testing or work on the sim is unfair, the Crash ꦍF1 podcast was told.

While it’s true that he routinely does not appear at the postseason F1💝 test, he will enter his🐼 new adventure at Ferrari willing to muck in.

“Across the board, not just 🌳on the simulator, he fully wants this from the glimmers that we’ve seen,” Lewis Lꦍarkam told the podcast.

“Even the smaller things like the efforts he’s made to start learning Ita▨lian, to help forge connections.

“It underlines ho💯w committed he i⭕s, how much he wants it to work.

“He’s been in the simulator, that process is under🔥way. That will be crucial to how he goes at Ferrari, and how they develop a car that suits him and helps him.

“At Mercedes he was super comfort🍸able and perhaps didn’t need🏅 the extra time.

“Now, he perhaps need to start from scratch."

'No major concern' about Lewis Hamilton's sim work

“I find it interesting the bond he’s already made with the Tifosi. They adore him already. Around 1,500 fans lined the perimeter of his first test which is more thanও Sebastian Vettel or Fernando Alonso had.

“He has already forged that connection and he seems to be ♉embedding himself, in that sense. With the Tifosi💦 and, more importantly, with the team itself.

“Hamilton has always said he𓃲 hates testing - he always tried to get out of postseason testing. But there’s 🦄never been a question about how he drives a team forwards.

“I believe he’ll be fully rej🥂uvenated to make those gains.”

Conn🎀or McDonagh added: “Oth🌞er than last year, maybe, he was always the one trying to push the set-ups.

“He was in the simulator, trying to turn Mercedes around💝.

“He’s not g𒁃oing to give♌ up. He’s going to be fully committed to the cause.

“Th🌸ere can be no major concern about his cont♐ribution, in that regard.”

Lewis🌊 Larkam replied: “There were times last season when Hamilton dipped out. There was an element of ༒him just checking out.

“He knew Mercedes wouldn’t win races and certain💫ly not the championship, an🧸d he knew that he was leaving.

“It was a strange dynamic of th🦩e move being an🌊nounced before he left.

“Perhaps there was an element of Hamilton eas🦩ing off, whether it was subconscious or not.

“Now, going into this season, he willꦓ be 𓄧completely on it.

“Iﷺt will be more of a question of how quickly he’s up to speed.”
