Ferrari has made a strategic move by recruiting Lewis Hamilton to join their team for the 2025 F1 season alongside Charles Leclerc, replacing Carlos Sainz.
The decision to leave Mercedes and join Ferrari has caught the attention of many in the F1 community, including Luca Di Montezemolo, the former boss of Ferrari. Montezemolo describes Hamilton’s move as unexpected and impressive.
Montezemolo is not alone in his surprise at Hamilton’s decision. Many are eager to see Hamilton join forces with Ferrari’s rising star, Leclerc.
However, there is concern that both drivers have a strong desire to win the championship, which could potentially create tension within the team. Hamilton is chasing his record-breaking 8th title, while Leclerc is still seeking his first. This hunger for success may impact the team dynamics at Ferrari.
Hamilton is renowned for his ability to push the limits of his machinery and extract every ounce of performance. His determination to secure an unprecedented 8th title could potentially disrupt the stability at Ferrari.
Leclerc, on the other hand, has been a part of the Ferrari family since his days in junior Formula racing. After proving himself in the lower categories, he was promoted to the factory works team and has excelled alongside his world-champion teammate.
With Hamilton’s arrival, Leclerc may face challenges in maintaining his position as the team’s number-one driver. The competition between the two could create an exciting dynamic, but it is crucial for Ferrari to navigate any potential issues that may arise.
