Charles Leclerc wary of “huge challenge” posed by Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari
“But it’s definitely a huge challenge 🦩and probably one of the biggest of my career.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc has described going up against 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari as a “huge challenge” and “one of the biggest” of his F1 career so far.
Leclerc has seen off some high-quality t🌊ဣeammates throughout his Ferrari stint.
He made his Ferrari debut alongside 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel,ཧ out-scoring the four-time world champion in their two seasons as teammates.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz managed to out-score Lec൩lerc in 2021, but Leclerc was comfortably the better driver across their four seasons, although the Spaniard showed great consiste♒ncy and flashes of brilliance.
Hamilton will be Leclerc’s biggest challenge, eve✱n if the seven-time world champion struggled in his final year at Mercedes.
The 40-year-old was dismantled by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell in qualifyingꦇ, losing the head-t🥂o-head on a Saturday 19-5.
However, if the SF-25 is better suited to Hamilton’s driving style and a change of scenery means he’s rejuvenated, it's likely Lecler🌱🀅c will have a tougher time than Russell did last year.
, Leclerc acknowledged Hamilton's challenge but said he has “full trust” in his own ability.“I mean, obviously, as a driver, I’ve got full trust in my ability,” Leclerc explained. “But also having said that, it’s very difficult for now because I haven’t had any comparison with Lewis in the same car at the s🅺ameಌ time.
“So I guess time will tell. But it’s definitely a huge cꦕhallenge and probably one of🦄 the biggest of my career.
“He’s, again, the most successful driver in Formula 1 and to have him as my teammate is a r🎃eally, really big motivation for me to learn from him but also, as you said, to show what I’m capable of and that motivates me a lot and I’m really loo🍷king forward to it.”
