In 2025, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will drive together for Ferrari and the confrontation between the Scuderia drivers promises to be one of the intrigues of the coming season. Former Ferrari racing engineer Rob Smedley believes the seven-time world champion will be higher in the individual standings at the end of this year.
Rob Smedley: “Lewis is a true professional and knows how good Charles is. I think Hamilton will be ahead after 24 races. Of course, one day Lewis will no longer be able to do this, but that moment has certainly not yet come. He is in excellent physical condition and mentally strong.
In recent years we have seen Lewis who… I don’t want to call it a loss of motivation because it was just a lack of respect for him. But sometimes we all faced the disappointment that came from not being able to perform ten out of ten as he had in the past.
But I have no doubt that Lewis still has passion and wants to win. Consider his reaction to winning the British Grand Prix. She tells you everything you need to know. During the race we saw a masterclass from the seven-time world champion on how to win. Impressive driving behavior of the car, and ultimately passion and emotion. This man wants to win.
And yet Lewis is constantly evaluating himself and wondering what he can do better. I therefore don’t think he will go to Ferrari with the thought that he will definitely stay ahead of Charles.
First of all, it is not that easy to do. Secondly, he will have to work very hard to integrate into the team. In my opinion, this will be the next step in creating Ferrari. It’s a good situation for the team.”
