Leclerc Applauds Hamilton’s Methodical Approach
Charles Leclerc, who welcomed Hamilton to Ferrari for the 2025 season, has been quick to express his admiration for his new teammate. From the early days of their collaboration, Leclerc has observed Hamilton’s meticulous and constructive approach to racing, which has already influenced his own mindset. Leclerc was particularly struck by the level of detail Hamilton puts into his work, both with his engineers and in his overall race preparation.
“Working with Lewis is fascinating,” Leclerc says. “He has accomplished so much throughout his career, and I pay close attention to how he interacts with the team and how much attention he gives to the smallest of details. It’s clear that he’s one of the most successful drivers in F1 history, and the way he approaches his work is truly impressive.”
Leclerc, known for his technical prowess and disciplined nature, finds a great deal of inspiration in Hamilton’s method. He also acknowledges the strong synergy between their driving styles, which he believes will aid in the development of the Ferrari SF-25. “Our driving styles are very similar, which will make it easier for us to fine-tune the car’s performance,” Leclerc adds.
Hamilton: A Relationship Built on Mutual Respect
On the other side, Lewis Hamilton has also shared his thoughts on the partnership with Leclerc. He emphasizes the strong foundation of mutual respect that exists between the two drivers. “Working with Charles has never been an issue,” Hamilton says. “We have a lot of respect for each other, and we even share common interests like music and fashion. This helps create a positive relationship, both on and off the track.”
However, while their personal relationship is strong, Hamilton is clear that when it comes to racing, there is no room for complacency. “We’re going to push each other,” Hamilton asserts. “We both have the same goal: to bring Ferrari to the top. And to do that, we need to give it our all and challenge each other to be the best.”
The Ferrari team, now led by two of F1’s most talented drivers, is set to enter a new era with the shared determination of Leclerc and Hamilton. Their combined efforts, not only as teammates but as fierce competitors, will undoubtedly play a major role in Ferrari’s pursuit of excellence in the coming season.
