At Ferrari, two very different narratives are unfolding. Charles Leclerc is pushing quietly but effectively, while Lewis Hamilton is still trying to find his rhythm in red. Their dynamic could define Ferrari’s season — for better or worse.
Leclerc: head down, points up
Despite Ferrari’s struggles in 2025, Charles Leclerc remains locked in. He leads Hamilton in the standings and seems uninterested in his teammate’s growing pains. His focus is simple: extract everything from the SF-25, regardless of its limitations.
Leclerc has acknowledged Hamilton’s experience, but he hasn’t offered help or sympathy. For now, it’s every driver for himself.
Hamilton: the weight of transition
Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari debut has been rocky. Communication issues, underwhelming results, and visible frustration have defined his first races. He brings champion-level pedigree and insight, but he’s not yet delivering on-track.
Ferrari’s dilemma: balance or imbalance?
Ferrari hoped Hamilton’s arrival would energize the team — and it still might. But his current pace versus Leclerc’s consistency creates tension. How can the Scuderia get the best from both without losing cohesion?
For now, Leclerc leads with results, Hamilton with potential. How long will that dynamic hold?
