Glum prediction made for Lewis Hamilton’s hopes against Charles Leclerc
Our experts p🎉redict how Lewis Hamilton's year will pl💖ay out

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is stepping into a Ferrari 💫this year, aiming to add one final chapter to his esteemed Formula 1 cღareer.
But he is coming up against another elite teammate in Charles Leclerc who has greater experience of their machine, and th🍰e team surrounding it, plus has youth on his side.
Hamilton is emerging from a glum 2024 when, although he arrested his winless streak at Silverstone last summer, he ౠtrailed Mercedes🧸 teammate George Russell badly on Saturdays.
Hamilton will need to qualify better in 𝓰2025 if hℱe stands any chance of establishing himself as Ferrari’s top driver.
Our writers predicted how Hamilton would fare this year…
Connor McDonagh: The big question mark going int♍o 2024 is Lewis Hamilton. It’s hard to believe that he suddenly became worse overnight, 💟which is what happened last season if you compared it to 2023.
Realistic💛ally, it’s going to be somewhere in the middle.
He’s no doubt going to be better than what we saw ൩in his final swansong with Mercedes, but is he going to perform at a world champion, Max Verstappen-like level?
It’s unlikely. L♛eclerc will certainly hold the advantage on a Saturday - and given the Monegasque’s notable improvement in race trim over the years, it’s hard to see Hamilton coming out on top in 2025.
Lewis Duncan: The short answer to this is: yes. Hamilton is st🀅epping into Ferrari as the Scuderia looks on the up again afꦇter a solid - if still below expectations - 2024.
Fiv💛e wins between Carlos Sainz and Leclerc exceeded Mercedes’ tally, while Ferrari narrowly missed out on the constಞructors’ title by 14 points.
Hamilton’s two victories puꦡt his winless 2022 and 2023 campaigns firmly𓃲 behind him, and a fresh challenge at this stage of his career could be just what he needs to fire on all cylinders again.
Leclerc is a tough team-mate, a harder prospect than George Russell, which will give Hamilton his toughest🌊 intra-team battle to date.
But, again, tꦕhat could be exactly what he needs to starꦕt bothering the championship race.
A title 🃏challenge in year one is probably unlikely. He’ll need time to get used to the car, with his input for 2026 more likely to give him a machine a bit more tailor♐ed to his driving style.
So, expect r♉ace wins. Expect his smile to come back.🥀 But don’t expect him to be title favourite in 2025.
Lewis Larkam: I think Hamilton’s spell at Ferrari will be one of success, adding further to his already-illustrious ℱgrand prix career.
Based on my prediction that he will win the championship, it’s safe to assume that the seven-time world champion will not only arrest his qualifying woes, but also win races and beat teammate L🦹eclerc during their first season as teammates.
I say this with the caveat that Leclerc will push Hamilt𒅌on incredibly hard, and have the edge in qualifying.
