But it does not represent a late-career swansong, the Ferrar♚i team principal in🐬sists.

Vasseur told&🔯nbsp;aboꦐut recruiting Hamilton: "It wasn't difficult, actually.

“Ferrari in some ways was al𝓡ways in his though🐬ts and now the stars have aligned.

“But he comes to win, not on holiday.  

“And I'm convi𓆉nced that we have everything to try.”

Ha✨milton will form a thrilling partnership with Charles Leclerc who harbours his own ambition to win grands prix and championsh꧒ip.

Leclerc’s story with the famous It൩alian manufacturer began much earlier than Hamilton’s.

"I was 3-4 years old and we were at Turn 1 at the house of a friend of my father's🌸,” Leclerc told Gazzetta.

“And I was playing with a little red car on the balcony while the grand prix was on, but I al🔯so remember th🌌at I cared for that red car.”

Vasseur has enjoyed long associations with both Hamilton ♛and Leclerc.

He said about Leclerc: "He has never been arrogant, but someone who always♋ works har💖d.

“Sometimes he has even madꦰe mistakes, but it ꧒is part of his growth process.

"We haven't yet agreed on the day we met🗹, he says a date but I wasn't there tha♌t day.

“Our🙈s is a special relationship, if I make a mis🔴take he just look at me and I know what he wants say.”

Leclerc a🅰dded: “There are no filters between us, even if in F1 it is more difficult to be 'straight', but Frederic says things to my face, he is very good at re-centering me.”

Vasseur said about the dynamic between teammates: "I think it's essential to have a good relationship, not just ✅to talk about understeer or anything else.

“But this is a passion and being balanced and having a good environment surro𒁃unding you is crucial to have good results.

“And I believe that Charles has this. Just as I believe that the competition be😼tween the drivers helps to grow the team. And the competition between Carlos Sainz and Charles is enormous in this sense."
