It’s been one-way traffic at Ferrari in the head-to-head battle between Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton
Charles Leclerc emerged as the winner of the 2025 Ferrari teammate head-to-head against Lewis Hamilton, though both drivers missed out on podium finishes at Monza. Leclerc led briefly but couldn’t hold off pressure from McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, while Hamilton started from 10th due to a grid penalty. Ferrari’s strategy of keeping Hamilton out longer backfired, preventing him from overtaking Mercedes’ George Russell. Leclerc has outperformed Hamilton in 12 out of 14 races this season, except for Imola and Silverstone. The gap between the two drivers has narrowed in recent races, pointing towards a potential significant defeat for Hamilton by Leclerc.
