Charles Leclerc has admitted that his record against Lewis Hamilton “doesn’t interest me that much” until Ferrari begins disputing “interesting positions” in F1.
Charles Leclerc has stated that he is not very interested in his record against Lewis Hamilton until Ferrari begins competing for more significant positions in Formula 1. Despite surpassing Hamilton in most races during the latter’s debut season with Ferrari, the Monegasque’s lead within the team has not resulted in substantial success due to the team’s challenges with the SF-25 car. Leclerc’s focus remains on helping Ferrari improve and return to the top rather than solely on his rivalry with Hamilton. He acknowledges the progress Ferrari has made, particularly after introducing an updated rear suspension at the Belgian Grand Prix, and emphasizes the need for further advancements to close the gap to competitors like McLaren. Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur anticipates that the upgrades will be more effective at the upcoming race in Hungary, but Leclerc is cautious about predicting their performance.
