Lewis Hamilton doesn't join Ferrari until next year but the seven-time F1 champion is clearly already a hit with the Italians including one marshal at Monza who was desperate for a moment with the Briton
It happened before Sunday's race during the drivers' parade around the Monza track. As is common before an F1 Grand Prix, the drivers were on board a lorry trailer and taken on a lap of the circuit so that fans could get a good look at them before the action began.
But he put the camera away when he was suddenly approached by a marshal who began to run alongside the float. The marshal recorded the whole interaction he had with the Brit, which began with him holding out a cap and asking the race to sign it.

Hamilton will be wearing red on his next visit to Monza, alongside new team-mate Charles Leclerc who delighted the crowds by winning Sunday's race. The Tifosi will hope for more of the same from Hamilton in Ferrari colours from next year. "I mean, it always feels special when you come here. There's always such incredible passion throughout Italy just in the culture in general but particularly about racing and it's always exciting just to see the fans that we're going to see throughout the weekend.
