It’s an incredible place to be part of and an incredible place to drive and feel like a Formula One driver.

I’m sure he’s going to enjoy that.

Hamilton will partner with the prolific Charles Leclerc at Ferrari from 2025 onwards. The F1 fans all over the world are really looking forward to seeing how they would jell in a competitive environment. They both would ideally want to have a go at next year’s drivers’ world championship.
From Sainz’s perspective, it will be a story toward the south end of the grid. He has joined Williams and will most probably, be seen fighting in the midfield pack. The 30-year-old would have to get used to fighting against the lights of Alpine, Haas, and the Faenza-based RB racing team.
