168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc has described going up against 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari as a “huge challenge” and “one of the biggest” of his F1 career so far.

Leclerc has seen off some high-quality teamm🙈ates throughout his Ferrari stint.

He made his Ferrari debut alongside 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel, out-s✃coring the four-time world champion in their two seasons as teammates.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz managed to out-score Leclerc in 2021, but Leclerc was comfortably the better driver across their four seasons, althou♋gh the Spaniard 🅺showed great consistency and flashes of brilliance.

Hamilton will be Leclerc’s biggest challenge, even if the seven-time world champion struggled in his final year at Me🐬rcedes.

The 40-year-old was dismantled by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell in qualifyinဣg, losing the head-to-head on a Saturday 19-5.

However, if the SF-25 is better suited to Hamilton’s driving style and a change of scenery m💃eans he’s rejuvenated, it's likely Leclerc will have a tougher time than Russell did last year. 

, Leclerc acknowledged Hamilton's challenge but said he has “full trust” in his own ability.

“I mean, obviously, as a driver, I’ve got full trust in my ability,” Leclerc explained. “But also hav🐻ing said that, it’s very difficult for now because I haven’t had any comparison with Lewis in the same car at the same time.

“So I guess time wi🌃ll tell. But🌸 it’s definitely a huge challenge and probably one of the biggest of my career.

“He’s, again, the most successful drive💃r in Formula 1 and to have him as my teammate is a really, really big motivation for me to learn from him but also, as you said, to show what I’m capable of and that motivates me a lot and I’m really looking forward to it.”
