Lewis Hamilton greeted Ferrari supporters at Fiorano after his testing session on Wednesday Yet users on Twitter/X were unimpressed as footage emerged of one fan using an electric saw to cut down a tree obstructing a view of the track. A different user simply labelled the fans as “idiots.” The Ferrari ‘tifosi’ fanbase are known for their passion in following F1’s most storied team, with thousands of supporters flocking in particular to the two Italian races – Imola and Monza – every year. Hamilton, speaking to the media on Wednesday a day on from the lavish launch of the SF-25 livery at the 2025 season launch event in London, insisted his first month with the fabled Italian team has been “magic.” “The passion here is like nothing I have ever seen,” Hamilton said.
