Lewis Hamilton will become Charles Leclerc’s new teammate next season. The unexpected news of Lewis’ move to Ferrari came just days after Charles extended his contract with the Italian team. At the presentation of the Ferrari SF-24, Leclerc confirmed that he was already aware of Hamilton’s arrival at the Scuderia when he signed his contract.
“These types of contracts are not concluded overnight – it takes time and I was already aware of the negotiations before I signed my contract, so the news did not come as a surprise to me,” Racingnews365 quotes Charles Leclerc . Lewis is an incredible racer, the most successful in history. He has a lot of experience that he will share with the team and with me, which is good.
Carlos is also a great rider, with whom we still have a season to go, and together we will try to do our job as best as possible.
Lewis and I had already communicated after the transfer was officially announced. We corresponded with him.
It’s always interesting when you have a new partner because you can learn from him a different approach to working and piloting. Moreover, my new partner is a seven-time world champion.”
