Fans are cutting down trees around the circuit to see Lewis Hamilton drive the Ferrari
Around the circuit in Fiorano, some tifosi have cut and trimmed several trees that were obscuring the track, in an atmosphere of great excitement, of course. This behavior raises questions, especially since during this period the trees in question don't have any foliage.
The reputation of the tifosi precedes them. When it comes to supporting Ferrari, nothing stops them. They proved it once again this Wednesday in Fiorano.
Wednesday, February 20, Scuderia Ferrari was testing at Fiorano. Charles Leclerc took the wheel of the car from 9:30 a.m., while Lewis Hamilton had to wait until the early afternoon to drive the SF-25. Naturally, the tifosi were present.
Enjoy the show at any cost.
True to their reputation, the tifosi showed that they were eager to enjoy the show. One of them, obviously dressed in red, climbed onto a fence. Equipped with a sort of small electric chainsaw, he sawed through the trunk of the tree at fence height. Cheered by the other spectators, he thus felled the tree, clearing the view of the track.
The question arises about the legitimacy of these actions, especially since it is not the only tree or branches that have been cut by the tifosi.
The Ferrari test track in Fiorano runs alongside a national road. The trees allow Ferrari to keep things under wraps, but it’s not really to the liking of the tifosi anymore, who are ready to do anything to see their new idol in action: Lewis Hamilton.
