Lewis Hamilton joins Charles Leclerc at Scuderia Ferrari this year. The two form one of the strongest pairings on the current grid. However, the seven-time world champion insists that the pair was better than potentially every other line-up in the sport’s history.

The Briton is thrilled to be racing at Ferrari this year. Team boss Fred Vasseur has a father-like bond with both drivers. Moreover, pundits have already predicted that both Hamilton and Leclerc will be pushing each other throughout the course of the upcoming season.

After a show run in Milan, the seven-time world champion proclaimed that he formed perhaps the strongest driver line-up in Formula 1 history by partnering with Charles Leclerc for Scuderia Ferrari. The two drivers ran older Ferrari machinery to create an exciting spectacle for the Tifosi.

F1 pundit predicts ‘internal politics’ between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc

Former F1 driver and FIA steward Johnny Herbert reckoned that the two drivers will be beneficial for Ferrari. As both, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will push each other to the limit. However, he warned the duo that there will be some internal politics happening in Maranello over their performances.

Sometimes that actually benefits the team because they will be getting the best out of each other. I think it’s a positive thing having Charles [Leclerc] on board. There’s going to be some internal politics.

Certainly, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc do form a fierce pairing on the grid. Though, the two drivers will need a car capable of fighting for the title this year to truly showcase their pace. As such, the Tifosi would be hoping that the SF-25 turns out to be a strong car when the season kicks off in Melbourne.
