Lewis Hamilton did not surprise Charles Leclerc

The words of Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc è returned to talk about the arrival of Lewis Hamilton in Ferrari: "It was in the air for some time, although  until there’s an official confirmation you cannot be sure. I knew there was interest on both sides, and in such cases è it is very likely that an agreement will be reached. I did not ask to know more about it; it is not part of my role, but I must say that everyone has always been very open and sincere towards me".

"The announcement of Lewis in Ferrari è was also reassuring, becauseé taking a driver like him è obviously a strong signal. I saw it as a positive choice, starting with the fact that Lewis could facilitate the arrival of very talented people in the team".

" I would like to say that I am very happy with the way I worked with Carlos Sainz, è an incredible driver and we overcame very difficult moments during our experience in Ferrari. And è also thanks to his contribution if we are improving, we have always worked well together. At the same time, when you have a seven-time world champion joining the team è always good news, very interesting and very motivating".

"È interesting becauseé he will be able to learn from one of the best drivers in the entire history of F1, and è very motivating becauseé I am intrigued by the comparison with Lewis on an equal car. For these two reasons, I look forward to this new chapter, but I still want to say that I always got along very well with Carlos" too, Leclerc concluded to Motorsport.com.
