Charles Leclerc could receive ‘favourable strategy’ from Ferrari if he does one thing to Lewis Hamilton
In the lead-up to the 2025 Formula 1 season, Ferrari’s new driver lineup featuring seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton and incumbent Charles Leclerc has generated significant buzz. While both drivers are slated to start the season on equal footing, internal dynamics and performance metrics are expected to influence strategic decisions as the season progresses.
Motorsport analyst James Hinchcliffe has highlighted that maintaining equal treatment may not be feasible if Ferrari aims to clinch the Drivers’ Championship. He suggests that the team might need to prioritize one driver over the other based on their performance and standing in the championship race.
Leclerc, who has been with Ferrari since 2019, faces the challenge of asserting his position within the team alongside the highly decorated Hamilton. Former McLaren mechanic Marc Priestley has cautioned that Leclerc must avoid falling into a secondary role to maintain his performance levels.
The internal competition between Hamilton and Leclerc is poised to be a focal point of the 2025 season. Ferrari’s strategic decisions, potentially favoring the driver with a performance edge, will be crucial in their quest to end a title drought that has persisted since
2008.
