Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton missed Ferrari testing at Mugello after his dog Roscoe suffered cardiac arrest. The British driver announced on Instagram that his pet remains hospitalized in a coma following the medical emergency. Zhou Guanyu replaced Hamilton during the Pirelli tire evaluation sessions on the Italian circuit. The Chinese driver completed 75 laps while sharing track time with Charles Leclerc.
Rain disrupted the planned testing schedule throughout both days at the Tuscan venue. Zhou recorded a fastest lap time of 1 minute, 22.012 seconds despite the challenging wet conditions. Ferrari showcased the reserve driver's performance through social media posts. Hamilton also withdrew from the Ferrari fashion presentation in Milan due to his pet's health crisis.
