In a surprising development that has sparked intense speculation across the Formula 1 world, reigning world champion Max Verstappen has taken part in a private test session with Scuderia Ferrari. The move comes at a time when tensions between Verstappen and his long-time rival Lewis Hamilton are reportedly growing, following Hamilton’s high-profile switch to Ferrari for the 2025 season.
The test took place at Ferrari’s private track in Fiorano, with sources indicating that Verstappen was given the opportunity to get a feel for the car under controlled conditions. While no official statements have been made by Ferrari or Verstappen’s current team, Red Bull Racing, the news has added fuel to rumors that the Dutch driver could be considering a dramatic move to the Italian team.
Tensions between Hamilton and Verstappen, which have simmered since their controversial 2021 title battle, appear to have resurfaced. Insiders suggest that the atmosphere between the two drivers has been notably cold during recent paddock encounters. With Hamilton now a key figure at Ferrari, the potential addition of Verstappen could raise internal challenges, especially if the team is unable to manage the dynamic between two fiercely competitive champions.
Ferrari has not commented on whether the test is part of a long-term plan or simply a routine evaluation. However, fans and analysts alike are watching closely, as this development could signal a seismic shift in the balance of power within Formula 1.
