Lewis Hamilton‘s shocking switch to Ferrari by 2025 took the F1 world by storm. The 39-year-old was always regarded as a Silver Arrow due to his six World Championships with Mercedes. Regardless, Charles Leclerc deemed Hamilton’s switch to Maranello as one of the biggest moments in the Monegasque’s career.

Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will form one of the strongest driver lineups at Ferrari in the coming season. Both drivers drive extremely well and have their own strong suits. Leclerc highlighted that he held massive respect for the Briton and everything he had achieved so far. Additionally, the 26-year-old pointed out that it would be incredible to see how well Leclerc fares against Hamilton at Ferrari.

I have so much respect for Lewis and everything he has achieved. It will be incredible to see where I am compared to Lewis.

Charles Leclerc claimed Lewis Hamilton ‘still focused 100%’ with Mercedes for the 2024 season

Many people believe that Lewis Hamilton has started working alongside the Ferrari crew to have a comfortable entry in the coming season. However, Charles Leclerc mentioned that this wasn’t all that they both had been discussing over the past few months. The 26-year-old pointed out that Ferrari was a very little part of the discussion between the two future teammates.

It's mixed. Maybe a little bit about just the way it is now with Ferrari and where we are at, but this is a very little part of our discussions.
Charles Leclerc added.

However, Hamilton’s current ‘100% focus’ with Mercedes wouldn’t allow the two to talk freely about Ferrari’s development. As a result, both drivers couldn’t exchange everything regarding both the team’s working just yet. However, Leclerc and Hamilton discuss more about their personal interests such as design and fashion.

Obviously he's still 100 per cent focused on his season this year in Mercedes, so we cannot exchange about everything yet, of course. But just in preparation of next year maybe on our common passions which are design and fashion in general.
Charles Leclerc concluded.

Mercedes’ start to the season has been a stark difference to Ferrari’s performance since the beginning. Multiple people have labeled the late-career switch as an ideal move for the former world champion. Meanwhile, others have questioned the Briton’s loyalty to a constructor in Formula 1. Regardless, the 2024 season will put forth exciting battles towards the end.
