Lewis Hamilton Working to Address Key Charles Leclerc ‘Advantage’ in Ferrari Tests – Journalist
Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton is already focused on closing a key gap to Charles Leclerc ahead of his much-anticipated switch to Ferrari in 2025. According to a report from Italian journalist Leo Turrini, Hamilton is particularly concerned about one advantage Leclerc currently holds within the Ferrari setup.
Hamilton, who announced his departure from Mercedes earlier this year, is expected to undergo private simulator and track tests with Ferrari before officially joining the team. Reports suggest that his main focus is adapting to Ferrari’s unique car characteristics, which Leclerc has spent years mastering.
Turrini noted that Leclerc’s deep knowledge of Ferrari’s handling, tire management, and specific setup preferences gives him a natural edge over Hamilton. The British driver, known for his adaptability, is already working to counter this by analyzing Ferrari’s driving data and preparing for early tests.
With Ferrari expected to be a strong contender in 2025, Hamilton’s transition will be closely watched. His ability to match Leclerc’s pace and extract the most from the car could be a decisive factor in his bid for an eighth world title.
More updates are expected as Hamilton’s Ferrari preparations continue.
