Charles Leclerc has shared his thoughts on working with Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, admitting he was “surprised” by their similar driving styles, which he sees as beneficial for the team.

Hamilton officially joined Ferrari in January and has undergone an “immersion programme” to adapt to his new environment. He recently appeared alongside Leclerc at the F1 75 Live event to launch the team's livery before driving the SF-25 in pre-season testing in Bahrain. Leclerc reflected on Hamilton’s transition, recalling his own experience joining Ferrari in 2019. “It’s really nice to see,” he said. “Lewis arrives as a legend of the sport. When I joined, I had only done one year in F1, so I had to learn everything. For him, an Italian team is new, but he has achieved so much.”
