Lewis Hamilton under pressure: risks of being Charles Leclerc's teammate in Ferrari
Today at 04:31 AM
Who will come out on top between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at Ferrari and what risks will there be? This is certainly the hottest question at the moment. Thus, while waiting for the new season to begin, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion is already under significant pressure, especially due to what could be an internal battle with Charles Leclerc.
Not only that: some voices insist that team principal Fred Vasseur might resort to team orders from the very first races. For this reason, Hamilton's ability to quickly adapt to his new environment will be crucial.
The 2025 Formula 1 season promises to be one of the most competitive in recent history, with powerful teams like Ferrari, Red Bull, Mercedes, and constructors' champions McLaren, all of which enjoyed many wins last year. With the current rules set to conclude after this season, the drivers know well that 2026 will bring about a series of radical changes as well.
Will Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton be good teammates?
This could mean that the fight for the World Championship could be fiercely contested by a number of drivers. In this battle, rightfully, are Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, in their first season as teammates.
But there are already those who have their initial doubts. During the recent tests in Barcelona, Hamilton went off the track, preventing his new teammate, Charles Leclerc, from taking to the track that day. The incident raised concerns about how Hamilton will adapt to his new team.
There is no doubt that Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc form a top-level lineup for Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton, the most decorated driver in the history of Formula 1, joins the Monegasque, often considered the fastest driver on the current grid. Their union could be a decisive factor for Ferrari's title aspirations. And yet, both drivers must face the pressure and expectations that come with such a prestigious partnership.
The issues Lewis Hamilton faced in the past two seasons alongside the young George Russell have often left Ferrari fans in doubt. But there are those who believe that with a competitive car, Hamilton can still contribute greatly to Formula 1.
