Ferrari’s Leclerc Unleashes Bold Statement: “I Don’t Care About the Gap to Hamilton If Ferrari Fights for P4”
In a shocking revelation, Charles Leclerc has made it clear that he is not concerned about the competition with Lewis Hamilton unless Ferrari is in the running for the top spot on the podium. The anticipated rivalry between Hamilton and Leclerc at Ferrari has so far been overshadowed by mutual respect, with any tensions attributed to external factors rather than personal animosity.
The primary reason for this unexpected tranquility lies in Ferrari’s underwhelming performance this season, falling short of the drivers’ initial expectations. Leclerc himself admitted at Spa that he is not focused on the +16 gap to Hamilton in the standings until the SF-25 is capable of securing victories.
Leclerc boldly stated, “It’s something that is really in the background for now: you always look at it, but if you are fighting for fourth place, you don’t care that much. Then, of course, when we start fighting for wins, you will look at these things much closer, but for now, it has not been part of my thoughts.” He emphasized his goal of learning from Hamilton and striving to outdo himself to ultimately elevate Ferrari back to the top position in the sport.
With Leclerc’s fierce determination and unwavering focus on Ferrari’s resurgence, the rivalry with Hamilton may have to take a back seat until the Scuderia is back in contention for the championship title. Stay tuned as the battle for supremacy in Formula 1 heats up with Leclerc’s bold declaration shaking up the competition landscape.
