The start of the 2025 season for Formula 1 marks a new era for Ferrari, with the arrival of seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton alongside Charles Leclerc. This duo, which could well be the most formidable on the grid, are not content to be mere team-mates: they seek to get the best out of each other, while pushing the limits of the Scuderia Ferrari.
Leclerc: "Hamilton has already added value for Ferrari".
Charles Leclerc, who has seen his British team-mate join the Scuderia in 2025, makes no secret of his admiration for his new partner. Right from the very first weeks on the job, Leclerc noted Hamilton's methodical approach and constructive attitude, which has already prompted him to analyze and learn from his driving style.
"Working with Lewis is fascinating," explains Leclerc. "He's achieved so much in his career, and I'm observant of the way he interacts with his engineers and the attention he pays to detail. He's undoubtedly one of the most successful drivers in F1 history, and his working method is impressive."
Leclerc, known for his rigor and technical approach, finds in Hamilton's approach a model of perfection. In particular, he noted a similarity in their driving style, a key factor in the development of the Ferrari SF-25. "We have a very similar driving style, which is a good thing. That should make things easier for the development of the car," adds Leclerc.
Hamilton: "We're going to push each other".
For his part, Lewis Hamilton was quick to point out that the good relationship that already exists between him and Leclerc. "Working with Charles has never been a problem," he confides. "There's a mutual respect, and we even have common interests, like music and fashion. This creates a positive dynamic, even outside the circuits."
But respect doesn't mean they'll easily let each other down on the track. Hamilton is clear: "We're going to push each other. We want to take Ferrari to the top, and to do that, we have to give it our best shot."
Their first exchanges are sure to set the tone for the season. "Of course, there will be times when we're competing, but our common goal remains to make Ferrari shine," says Hamilton.
A promising season for Ferrari
Leclerc and Hamilton more than ready to fight together make Ferrari the team to beat in 2025. While relations are positive for the moment, the fierce competition on the track could quickly turn this alliance into a high-level rivalry. Nevertheless, both drivers agree on one essential point: only results count.
For Leclerc, this year is decisive: "I'm confident in my abilities, and I think I have what it takes to fight for the title. But everything will depend on the car's performance."
Hamilton, for his part, seems to have found his place within the Scuderia and remains convinced that the Leclerc-Hamilton duo can lead Ferrari to victory. "The objective is clear: to take the team forward, and we have the means to achieve it," he concludes.
Dieser hype geht mir auf den Keks, denn wer glaubt ein siebenfacher Weltmeister sei keine Bereicherung für ein Team, der irrt ganz einfach! Alleine wie viele verschiedene Aufhängungen, Spezifikationen, Einstellungen, Abstimmungen Lewis in seiner Karriere gefahren hat, ist ein unersetzlicher Erfahrungswert für das Team Ferrari, denn er weis was funktioniert und was nicht. Wer hat denn damals das Auto für Ferrari mit entwickelt und war nicht oder nur sehr schwer zu schlagen!? Wenn ich einen Hr. Brundle, einen Hr. Herbert, einen Hr. Coulthard, oder sonstige Kritiker, wie Hr. Ecclestone höre, oder auch ein Hr. Briatore dann Frage ich mich ob die Ihre verzapften Märchen Geschichten selber glauben, der unabhängige F1 Fan weis so und so was Phase ist !!!! Denn wenn ein WM in einem Fzg. sitzt, dem er zu 100% vertraut und dem er auch alles abverlangen kann, dann wird ein WM bestimmt nicht langsamer, sondern schneller! Das Umfeld scheint Ihn nur zu beflügeln und zusätzlich zu motivieren. Es könnten sich im Renn Geschehen 2025 einige Überraschungen ergeben! Viele rudern ja schon zurück.
Here is a driver charles Leclerc the one who is the most concerned by the arrival of Lewis who to work with him has an opinion that is better than all the criticism made by those who simply do not like Lewis and it is a legitimate right to prefer a driver to another I will not dwell on the subject I expect a very intense duel between Lewis, charles ,Norris , Piastri Verstapen no doubt that Gasly and Occon each in their respective team will do everything to appear very high in the driver and team ranking I look forward to the 2025 season.
Let's hope this year will be the best for the Italian team, because since Schumi's departure, the emblematic Italian Red has been at half-mast.
