VCARB Mocks Hamilton’s Iconic ‘First Day’ Ferrari Photo with a Witty Twist

VCARB added a humorous touch to Formula 1 news by parodying Lewis Hamilton’s polished first-day photograph as a Ferrari driver. The playful jab featured their newest recruit, Isack Hadjar, in a similarly styled post, turning a celebrated moment into a lighthearted spectacle.

Hamilton Joins Ferrari: A Moment to Remember

Ferrari officially welcomed seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton to their team with a lavish social media post. Hamilton, dressed in a sleek black suit, posed beside a Ferrari F40—his favorite supercar—against the backdrop of Enzo Ferrari’s iconic house.

Sharing his excitement on Instagram, Hamilton wrote:
“There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever, and today, my first as a Ferrari driver, is one of those days. I couldn’t be happier to realize that dream today. Together, we’ll write a new chapter in this team’s iconic history.”

Ferrari matched the fanfare with a statement highlighting the “traditional first-day” photoshoot and an immersive daylong introduction to the team.

VCARB’s Playful Response

Not to be outdone, VCARB’s Red Bull junior team humorously recreated Hamilton’s photo shoot with their own newcomer, Isack Hadjar. In the edited image, Hadjar stood in front of the team’s headquarters, donning a sharp black suit.

Accompanying the post was a caption that cheekily mirrored Hamilton’s words:
“There are some days that you know you’ll remember forever, and today is one of those days.”

Fans quickly picked up on the parody, applauding VCARB’s wit and creativity.

Hadjar’s Upcoming Challenge

Isack Hadjar, alongside teammate Yuki Tsunoda, is gearing up for his first outing in the 2023 AT04, formerly used during AlphaTauri’s era. The testing will take place at Imola, though forecasts of rain could disrupt the sessions.

Interestingly, Hamilton may face similar weather issues as he prepares for his first Ferrari test, initially planned for Fiorano but with potential relocation to Mugello or Imola.

Ferrari’s Enthusiastic Welcome

Hamilton’s arrival at Maranello was meticulously documented by Ferrari. From meeting Team Principal Fred Vasseur and CEO Benedetto Vigna to touring Enzo Ferrari’s historic office, the day symbolized Hamilton’s integration into Ferrari’s storied legacy.

Ferrari’s statement reflected their excitement:
“Lewis Hamilton’s Scuderia Ferrari HP adventure is now underway. Despite the drizzle, he embraced the Maranello spirit and explored every corner of the legendary HQ to prepare for an action-packed season ahead.”

Rain, Rivalries, and Resilience

While Hamilton begins his Ferrari journey, VCARB’s light-hearted banter showcases the dynamic camaraderie in F1. With both teams bracing for rainy tests, the season promises thrilling on-track battles and engaging off-track antics.
