2025: the new Ferrari line-up
The 2024 Formula 1 championship continues, but even before its start the news of the signing of Lewis Hamilton with Ferrari for 2025. The Briton will take the place of Carlos Sainz (whose future in the Circus still remains uncertain) thus becoming Ferrari’s new teammate. Charles Leclerc.
The talent to become champion
A CV, that of the Monegasque, much more modest than that of #44, as demonstrated by the seven world titles won by the latter against the five victories and 32 podiums in total of the 26-year-old Ferrari driver in 107 GPs contested with the Red. Successes made difficult first by the excessive power of Hamilton himself in Mercedes and subsequently by Max Verstappen’s Red Bull, not to mention some missteps by Ferrari and the driver in recent years. Despite this, Leclerc is universally recognized as one of the brightest talents of today’s Formula 1, to the point of possessing all the qualities to be able to graduate one day World Champion.

In an interview with the newspaper GPFans, Jacques Villeneuve wanted to draw a parallel between George Russell’s arrival at Mercedes and Charles Leclerc’s arrival at Ferrari: “Russell was not brought into Mercedes as a championbut rather as a young man who had yet to prove his worth. On the contrary, Charles arrived at Ferrari as a champion, when he wasn’t yet one. And he couldn’t have been for beating someone in karting, he has to prove it. Sure it’s fast, very fast, but whoever won a GP with Ferrari last year wasn’t him”. The Canadian world champion then concluded, with an eye to 2025: “It will be interesting to understand the balance of power within the Red Team next year, which will be decisive for Charles, but not for Lewis.”
