Charles Leclerc said “not at all” over the questions of Ferrari losing faith in him. Additionally, Leclerc noted that the reason behind Hamilton’s arrival was Maranello’s wishes to have the ‘fastest drivers.’

Not at all. Because Ferrari is Ferrari. And they need the best drivers in their cars. So, for the benefit of Ferrari, it is completely understandable. For me, I don’t see any negative in that, because it’s Lewis Hamilton.
Charles Leclerc said as reported BBC.com.

Ferrari needs to desperately rediscover their form for the remainder of the 2024 season. Maranello could quickly lose ground to McLaren and the runner-up spot amidst failing performances. Hence, the Italian constructor would have to implement multiple upgrades to improve their package for the upcoming races.
