Charles Leclerc believes Lewis Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari comes at an optimal moment in the team's pursuit of a Formula 1 world championship. Following Ferrari's strong second-place finish behind McLaren last season, and Leclerc's impressive post-summer break performance, the team appears well-positioned for success.

Leclerc credits Team Principal Fred Vasseur for maintaining a stable emotional environment within the team, noting that Ferrari has become more resilient in recent years. While Hamilton's arrival has generated significant excitement, the team remains focused and clear about their direction.

After testing the SF-25 at Fiorano, Leclerc acknowledged the increased media attention surrounding Hamilton's move but emphasizes that Ferrari has always dealt with high levels of scrutiny. He views the additional coverage as a positive sign of the team's prominence in the sport.

The partnership between Leclerc and Hamilton represents a unique opportunity for both drivers. Entering his seventh season with Ferrari, Leclerc is particularly interested in learning from Hamilton's successful approach:

"It's super interesting to analyze how he works day-to-day with his engineers, his comments, and what he focuses on. Being teammates with the most successful driver in Formula 1 is an incredible learning opportunity."

While they haven't yet shared track time in the same car, Leclerc has already begun studying Hamilton's driving style and notes their strong personal relationship. The duo is eager to begin competing alongside each other, with both drivers maintaining a positive and collaborative approach to their new partnership.
