During a sponsorship event, Charles Leclerc commented for the first time on his upcoming partnership with Lewis Hamilton, which will begin in 2025. The Ferrari driver did not mention his future partner by name, but made it clear that he was not yet ready to become number two under the seven-time world champion.
“Second place is not my goal,” The Mirror quotes Charles Leclerc. “My only goal is to win the title. I’m only happy when I win, so like I said, second place is not my ambition.
However, you need to set realistic goals for yourself. We are always optimistic and try to do the best possible job every time. We want to win, but given where we started last year, Red Bull had a big lead.
That is why we must clear the backlog as quickly as possible. The team will do everything it can to achieve this – we are moving step by step towards Red Bull’s challenge.”
Commenting on Ferrari’s decision not to renew Carlos Sainz’s contract, Charles said: “We have a special relationship with him – we are friends off the track and have experienced many good things together.
Carlos and I spend too much time together. Because the calendar consists of 24 races, I see him even more often than my family!”
