Leclerc: Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari only 'good news' for me

Leclerc relishes the challenge of going up against a seven-time world champion

Charles Leclerc says it's 'always good news' teaming up with a driver of Lewis Hamilton's calibre, as will be the case at Ferrari from the 2025 Formula 1 season. Ferrari signed Hamilton before the 2024 campaign even started, with team principal Frederic Vasseur making the most of an exit clause in the long-time Mercedes driver's contract to entice him to Maranello.

'That was enough for me. I didn't ask many more details, also, because I'm not entitled to know all of this, and I don't want to know all of this, but everybody has always been super honest with me. 'If anything, it reassured me even more, because when you take a driver like Lewis Hamilton within the team, it obviously is a strong sign. I think that could be a positive thing seen from our side, and could bring some extremely talented people to the team.
