2025 is now upon us, and a chapter full of expectations is opening for Ferrari. After a growing 2024, culminating with second place in the constructors' championship and Charles Leclerc third in the drivers' championship, the arrival of Lewis Hamilton represents a unique opportunity to bring the world title back to Maranello. For Leclerc, the goal is clear: to win the championship, and the arrival of the seven-time world champion is one more reason to believe.
“Monza and Monaco, two dream victories”
The 2024 season has provided unforgettable moments for Leclerc, especially the victories in Monaco and Monza. “They are the two Grands Prix that I dreamed of winning as a child,” he said in the podcast Box Box Box. “Winning in Monaco, where I was born and raised, was special. And Monza, for a Ferrari driver, is the best: feeling the warmth of the fans is an emotion that can't be described.”
Despite these successes, Leclerc is not satisfied: "Now it doesn't matter where I win, I want to win as much as possible. And the drivers' championship is the only thing that really matters."
A title-winning duo: Leclerc and Hamilton
With the arrival of Hamilton, Ferrari is preparing for an unprecedented challenge. Leclerc can't wait to share the garage with one of the greatest in history: "Lewis is an extraordinary champion. Being able to work with him will be an opportunity to learn and grow. I'm sure that together we can do great things."
The arrival of the British driver also represents a test for Leclerc, who is not afraid of comparison: "Our objective is the same: to bring Ferrari back to the top. I know that we will work well together and that we will give our all to achieve this goal."
Ferrari vs. Everyone: The 2025 Challenge
Leclerc is aware of the challenges that await Ferrari, with rivals such as McLaren and Red Bull ready to fight for the title. “Formula 1 is an unpredictable sport: everything can change with an update. But I believe in our project and in our team,” he explained.
The Monegasque driver stressed the importance of continuing to work as a team: “When I renewed my contract with Ferrari, I did it because I believe we can become world champions. I know we are on the right path and I can’t wait to prove it on the track.”
World goal: Leclerc's determination
With Hamilton's experience and Leclerc's determination, Ferrari aims to return to the forefront. "We have a lot of work to do, but we are ready. The world title is our goal, and we will do everything to achieve it," concluded Leclerc.
Expectations for 2025 are high, and Leclerc is ready to take up the challenge: “I believe in Ferrari and I believe in our future. Now it’s up to us to prove that we are the best.”
