Charles Leclerc is expecting Lewis Hamilton to have a significant impact on Ferrari, with the Monegasque believing that the seven-time champion’s level of experience will benefit the squad as well as providing extra motivation – both to the team and to himself as Hamilton’s team mate.
The F1 world was taken by surprise when it was announced back in February that Hamilton would join the Scuderia in 2025 on a multi-year deal, bringing his extensive relationship with Mercedes to an end after 12 seasons together.

With Carlos Sainz having to make way for the Briton, Leclerc will be the one to race alongside Hamilton and, during an appearance on F1’s Beyond The Grid podcast, the 26-year-old spoke positively about how the veteran driver can benefit the Italian outfit.
“When a champion like Lewis gets to any team, it brings a lot of motivation out of every single person,” Leclerc explained.
“He will come along with all the experience that he’s had over the years with Mercedes – a different way of working, a different vision – and this is always benefitting a team.”
