Ferrari have made a major announcement following the signing of Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes ahead of the F1 2025 season.

Lewis Hamilton will conduct no further TPC (Testing of Previous Cars) for Ferrari ahead of the 2025 F1 season. This is because he has already maxed out on the amount of mileage allocation permitted under F1’s rules. Teams are limited over the season to 20 days of TPC running per year, with only one car available per outing.

Lewis Hamilton’s TPC outings have concluded for F1 2025 after the new Ferrari driver hit the maximum allocation of four days as he familiarised himself with the team’s procedures in an SF-23. Hamilton and Ferrari have made the most of Formula 1’s Testing of Previous Car [TPC] regulations in the build-up to the seven-time World Champion’s first season in red.
