Ferrari’s highly anticipated partnership with Lewis Hamilton has ignited excitement both inside and outside the Scuderia’s iconic walls. Charles Leclerc, Ferrari’s rising star, believes Hamilton’s unparalleled experience and winning mentality will provide the team with the tools to finally end its 16-year championship drought.

Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, is set to make his debut in Ferrari red later this month at the Fiorano test track, marking the beginning of one of the most talked-about moves in Formula 1 history.


Leclerc: Hamilton’s Success is Ferrari’s Gain

Hamilton’s move from Mercedes to Ferrari is viewed as a bold attempt to claim a record-breaking eighth world title. Leclerc sees the Briton’s record of winning championships with both McLaren and Mercedes as a blueprint for how Ferrari can return to its former glory.

“With how much success Lewis has had, it’s going to be incredibly interesting to hear him and see how he used to work with other very successful teams,” Leclerc told RacingNews365.
“Whether he was with Mercedes or McLaren before, he won championships with both. For sure, it will pull us upward, help us learn, and see different perspectives in our ways of working.”


Ferrari’s New Chapter: Motivation and Momentum

Under the guidance of Frederic Vasseur, Ferrari has shown progress but fell short again in 2024 as McLaren broke the Red Bull-Mercedes dominance. Hamilton’s arrival is expected to further energize the team, creating a renewed sense of optimism.

Leclerc highlighted the excitement within Ferrari, saying:
“Everybody’s already super motivated. But when you have a seven-time champion joining the team, it boosts the morale even more. Everybody’s proud of being part of that story, and we all want to make it as successful as possible.”


The Intra-Team Duel: Leclerc vs. Hamilton

While Leclerc is eager to learn from Hamilton, he’s equally determined to establish himself as Ferrari’s leading driver. The 26-year-old is adamant about proving his worth and achieving his dream of becoming a world champion.

“I’ve always said that I’m super excited because, on the one hand, I’m going to learn from one of the best. On the other, it’s also a great opportunity for me to show what I can do against such an incredible driver,” Leclerc explained.
“It’s going to be super interesting, and with Lewis, it motivates me a lot as well.”


Can Hamilton End Ferrari’s Title Drought?

Ferrari hasn’t won a constructors’ title since 2008, the same year Hamilton clinched his maiden championship. The team’s last drivers’ title came in 2007 with Kimi Räikkönen. With Hamilton bringing his championship pedigree and Leclerc determined to reach his peak, Ferrari is poised for a significant shake-up in 2025.

However, the task won’t be easy. Red Bull, McLaren, and Mercedes are likely to continue their fierce battles at the front, and Ferrari must improve its car development and strategic execution to remain competitive.


A Historic Partnership

Hamilton’s move to Ferrari is more than a transfer—it’s a historic chapter for Formula 1’s most storied team. Leclerc and Hamilton together form one of the most formidable driver pairings on the grid, blending youthful ambition with seasoned experience.

Will this partnership propel Ferrari back to the top? The 2025 season promises to deliver answers—and potentially one of the most electrifying narratives in recent F1 history.
