Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc has denied rumors that portrayed him as surprised about Lewis Hamilton's 2025 signing. The Monegasque on the sidelines of the presentation of the new SF-24 single-seater revealed that he knew everything for a long time: "These kinds of agreements are not made in a day, it takes time and I was aware of these negotiations before I signed my contract. So it è was not a surprise to me".

"I don’t want to comment further on this, out of respect for Carlos. We want to finish our collaboration in the best possible way. Lewis è an incredible driver, the most successful ever. He has enormous experience and he will bring it; to the team and to me. That è great. But with Carlos things are great and we still have a year to go together", Leclerc continued.

The Ferrari driver then revealed that he has already contacted Lewis Hamilton: "We talked, especially after everything è was announced and è became official. We wrote to each other. He è a great champion. As I said he has so much experience and has already had so much success".

"Having a new teammate è always interesting, becauseé you can learn new ways of working and driving. All the more so when your new partner has won seven world titles", are the words reported by Formulapassion.
