As well as interviews and on-stage appearances from all three, Ferrari’s new driver line-up hit the roads for some heart-stopping burnouts, sprints and donuts – Hamilton driving the 2021-specification SF21 and Leclerc the 2019 SF90.

“Milan has delivered an incredible atmosphere again today,” said Leclerc as the event drew to a close. “Feeling all this love gives us a real boost for the coming championship.

“Over the winter we have worked harder than ever to be in the best possible shape and we hope we can get some great results, maybe already in Australia.”

Hamilton added: “Today is another first to go with others I’m experiencing in what is already an unforgettable season for me. I can’t wait to get on track with this extraordinary team.

“I think we have everything we need to fight for the World Championship and I also believe that you fans can be our extra gear. I hope we will have a lot of fun together.”
