[Saba Sports News] Italian media outlet Auto Racer reported that Lewis Hamilton made several adjustment requests to the Ferrari team after the first test. It is said that Hamilton based his settings on teammate Charles Leclerc’s steering wheel. However, during the first test at Fiorano, Hamilton encountered issues with the pedals of the Ferrari SF-23 car, which led to mistakes while trying to accelerate. Hamilton has tried various pedal adjustments but could not find a comfortable solution during the first test. The Ferrari team responded quickly to Hamilton’s requests, and he has now received the proposed pedal changes. From January 28 to 30, Hamilton will conduct a three-day private test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Spain, where the new pedal setup will be implemented. In early February, during the 2026 Pirelli tire test, Hamilton will conduct further tests in the modified SF-24 car. On February 19, after the Ferrari team launches the 2025 car, Hamilton will have a brief test drive during the testing period.
