Charles Leclerc has already made contact with Lewis Hamilton following the British driver’s decision to join Ferrari in 2025.
The upcoming 2024 Formula 1 season is just a few weeks away, and the rumors and speculations continue. In light of this, Charles Leclerc’s move to Ferrari has been confirmed and absorbed by the F1 community. In the midst of it all, Leclerc reminisced about the moment he was informed of Hamilton’s surprising move to the Italian team.
Leclerc had nothing but praise for the seven-time world champion upon learning of his move to Ferrari. The Monegasque driver emphasized Hamilton’s incredible skills and his status as the most successful driver in the sport’s history. Leclerc also acknowledged that Hamilton’s wealth of experience would be invaluable to the team.
Furthermore, Leclerc revealed that he sent a text to Hamilton shortly after the news broke, acknowledging the unexpected move. The two drivers exchanged messages once everything was made official. It is evident that they share a strong bond beyond the racetrack and are likely to complement each other well at Maranello.
Hamilton has been a part of the Mercedes team for a significant period of time. The 2024 season will mark his final year as a Mercedes driver, having been with the team since 2013. Hamilton’s retirement from Formula 1 as a Ferrari driver is a remarkable achievement in itself.
In addition, the 39-year-old has solidified his position within the sport by signing a multi-year contract with Ferrari. He will be paired with Leclerc at Maranello, bidding farewell to his long-term team, Mercedes. However, the replacement for Hamilton at Mercedes has yet to be determined, as several drivers would eagerly seize the opportunity to drive for one of the top teams.
The departure of Hamilton from Mercedes will result in seeking a new driver for their team. As a result, the seven-time world champion will strive to achieve the best possible results for the remainder of the season and finish on a high note. Likewise, Mercedes will make every effort to support Hamilton in his pursuit of the Formula 1 World Championship.
