168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s switc🌠h to Ferrari is not a “holiday”, Fred Va🐻sseur has assured.
Hamilton’s move from Mercedes next year will combine Formula 1’s most succes𒉰sful driver with its most💦 successful team.
But it does not 𒉰represen♏t a late-career swansong, the Ferrari team principal insists.
Vasseur told ab♔out r💖ecruiting Hamilton: "It wasn't difficult, actually.
“Ferrari in some ways 🥀was𒊎 always in his thoughts and now the stars have aligned.
“But he comes to win, not on holiday.
“And I'm convinced t🔯hat we have ev🍌erything to try.”
Hamilton will form a thrilling partnership with Charles Leclerc who harbours ෴his own ambition to win grands prix and championship.
Leclerc’s🗹 story with the famous Italian manufacturer began much earlier than Hamilton’s.
"I was 3-4 💜years old and we were at Turn 1 at the house of a friend of my father's,” Leclerc told Gazzetta.
“And I was playing with a little red car on the balcony while the grand pr♊ix was on, but I also remember that I cared for that red car.”
Vasseur has enjoyed long associations with bo♏th Hamilton and Leclerc.
He said about Leclerc: "He has never b🌄een arrogant, but🥃 someone who always works hard.
“Sometimes he has even made m🅺istakes, but it is part of his growth process.
"We haven't yet agreed on the day we met, he says a date but I wasn't there tha😼t day.
“Ours is a special relationship, if I make a mistake he just look at me and I know what🌺 he wants say.”
Leclerc added: “There are no filters between us, even if in F1 it is more difficult to be 'straight', but Frederic says things to my face, he is very good at 🐼re-centering me.”
Vasseur said about the dynamic between teammates: "I t🐓hink it's essential to have a good relationship, not just to talk about understeer or anything else.
“But thi⛦s is a passion and being𓃲 balanced and having a good environment surrounding you is crucial to have good results.
“And I believe that Charles has this. Just as I believe that the competition between the drivers helps to grow the team. And the competition between Carlos Sainz and Charlesꦦ is enormous in this senseღ."
