In 2025, there will be several changes in Formula 1, not just technically but also in the driver lineup. While waiting to see how the remaining spots in the driver market will be filled, the most talked-about move is Lewis Hamilton joining Scuderia Ferrari. There are many questions surrounding this move, particularly how the champion will fit into the Italian team, whether he can return to winning, and what the team dynamics will be like.
Since the announcement, Charles Leclerc has been expressing his enthusiasm and looking forward to a great challenge with a veteran like Lewis Hamilton. “I see it as a super opportunity, for me and for the team, but also for our sport. Having a seven-time world champion in the team is a huge signal that we send to the outside. It wasn’t a surprise, I’ve known for a long time that there were discussions. It motivates me a lot to show what I’m capable of and I’ll be able to learn from one of the best drivers ever. There is a great deal of respect between us, as well as a very good relationship, but perhaps we don’t see each other enough to be friends. I am convinced that our relationship will become closer when he arrives at Ferrari, we share many interests. Also music,” the Monegasque driver said in a recent interview for the Italian daily newspaper La Stampa.
However, Charles Leclerc did not hide his disappointment about the departure of his current teammate: “With Carlos, after so many years, I have a wonderful relationship. From a personal point of view, I was very sorry when I heard the news. On the other hand, when you sign with a team, there is an expiration date, you don’t know how far away it is, but it comes sooner or later, and you have to accept it.” – the Monegasque driver concluded.
