Lewis Hamilton ’s debut F1 outing for Ferrari has resulted in “a state of emergency” being declared in Maranello. That is according to a report by F1-Insider, who claim that Hamilton’s appearances this week have triggered the Maranello Mayor, Luigi Zironi, to call for assistance from neighbouring towns.

Lewis Hamilton paid the Ferrari factory in Maranello a visit for the first time, acquainting himself with new surroundings he would call home. He then shook hands with senior members and conducted vital drills ahead of his first test run in red.
