A source close to the team told AFP Hamilton was “absolutely okay” and was still exploring the car’s limits.
Hamilton is sharing the car with team-mate Charles Leclerc as he gets ready for the 2025 season which begins in March with the Australian Grand Prix.
His two-year deal with Ferrari began last week when he powered through laps at the Fiorano test track near Ferrari’s Maranello base.
Ferrari will unveil their new car on 19 February at Fiorano, a day after the F1 season launch event in London to mark the sport’s 75th anniversary.
