Autosport reported that Ferrari is preparing private tests for Lewis Hamilton at the end of January to help him acclimatise with the new team. He is expected to take part in the test at his home circuit in Fiorano, as well as at the Barcelona circuit, where the team has booked a circuit for 4 days, and the driving will be subject to weather conditions.
But even testing is limited, teams can either test current cars during three-day pre-season tests or during filming days where they can drive a maximum of 2 x 200km. There is also the possibility of testing (TPC) but only with older models that are two to four years old. But even that is not without limitations, teams can drive a maximum of 1.000km per year, with a maximum of 4 days available.
