Ferrari welcomed the 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton at their Maranello factory in Italy. The Tifosi gathered in huge numbers outside the facility and cheered for Lewis Hamilton. The British driver for the first time moved out of the UK and joined a new team that has been his biggest rival for the last 17 years. As everyone has been talking about Lewis for the past two days, there is one big question: Where is Charles Leclerc?
Leclerc Welcomes Lewis
He is in Maranello to welcome his new teammate, Lewis. Videos of Charles Leclerc going inside the Maranello Factory surfaced on Twitter, and fans were happy to see the Monegasque driver's commitment to supporting his new teammate on the historic occasion. Since Sebastian Vettel’s departure in 2020, Charles has been the main driver for Ferrari all these years and has been the centre of attention.
But from now on the attention may turn towards Lewis Hamilton, as the 7-time world champion's achievements are huge as he has grown bigger than the sport. Hamilton is a world icon, like Roger Federer, Schumacher, Nadal, M. Jordan, Serena Williams, Messi, and Ronaldo. He joined the oldest team on the grid and is ready to fight for his 8th F1 title.

Leclerc has been well-known for dominating his teammates since his debut in Formula 1. He scored more points than his teammates, starting with Marcus Erikson at Sauber, Sebastian Vettel, and Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, and now he finds himself matched with the legendary Lewis Hamilton. He is also known for dominating his teammates.
The Monegasque driver is a good team player. He obeys the team order and follows the race strategy. When it comes to winning, both drivers are tough competitors and are very hungry for winning. So next year we expect a team battle between Lewis and Charles. We expect the same with other teams like McLaren, Red Bull, RB Bulls, and Haas F1 in the 2025 season.
