Lewis Hamilton is continuing to prepare for his first season in Ferrari colours this year.
Former FIA president Jean Todt believes Charles Leclerc has extra motivation as Lewis Hamilton’s new team-mate at Ferrari for the 2025 season. Hamilton joins Ferrari after a tough time at Mercedes, where he was often outperformed by George Russell in their final season together. Todt expects a fierce competition between Hamilton and Leclerc, but sees it as an opportunity for Leclerc to excel. Ferrari aims for a successful season with hopes of securing a title, especially after narrowly missing out on the constructors’ championship last year. Todt, having experience with Ferrari’s successful era in the early 2000s, believes the team is in a strong position with Leclerc and Carlos Sainz as drivers and is curious to see how they will perform with Hamilton in the mix.
