Charles Leclerc has been asked if he sees Lewis Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari as a threat.
The seven-time world champion will become Leclerc’s teammate at Ferrari from 2025 after making a blockbuster switch from Mercedes, a move which rocked the F1 world when it was announced last month.
"At the end he is a seven-times world champion and he’s got such a huge experience, so I think I see that as more of an opportunity,” Leclerc replied. “I’ve been in Ferrari since 2019 now and the fact that he’s coming from such a strong team, with so many years winning so many races and the other teams he has been to before that, brings a lot of experience and a different point of view,” he added. “I think that’s going to be a big thing.”But Leclerc is confident his current teammate won’t have any trouble securing a seat for 2025.
