Juan Pablo Montoya has warned Ferrari that prioritising168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton’s comfort could alienate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

Ferᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrari have endured a disappointing start to the 2025 F1 💫season.

Neither Leclerc nor Hamilton h🐭ave finished on the podium in any of the opening four races.

Tꦆhe only highlight for Ferrari has been Hamilton’s sprint race triumph in Shanghai.

In terms of the teammate head-to-head, Leclerc has tended to be the quicker✱ of the two Ferra🌌ris, which isn’t too surprising given Hamilton is new to the team.

T꧑o aid Hamilton with his acclimatisation process, Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur has said they will look to make changes to ensure the seven-time world champion is more “comfortable”.

Montoya believes that focusing on Hamilton could cause issꦕues for Ferrari with Leclerc in ꧅the long term.

. “I think everybody's working hard to make him comfortable. But the consequence of that is if they really focus on making Lewis comfortable, they're going to have issues with Charles in the long term.

“Look at Max. Every time Max is really, really quick, the teammate is miles away. When the teammate is close, they're not that💝 quick. They're not as competitive.

“Look at Checo. Two years ago, when Checo started the season so well, people thought the two drivers would be fighting it out for the championship. But ꩵwhen they finally made the car good enough for what Max wanted, Checo couldn't drive it.

“I think Ferrari might go through the same tꦑhing. As they develop the car for Lewis, to make him comfortable, all those things are going to compromise the performance of Charles. So that's going to be interesting to see how far Ferrari is going to go out of the way to make Lewis comfortable.”

Montoya tells Leclerc to “learn” from Hamilton

Leclerc is still waiting for his first💞 serious F1 title challenge.

Leclerℱc💜 challenged Verstappen in the first half of 2022.

However, a combination of driver errors and Ferrari blunders on t🧔he pit wall put Leclerc out of title contentio𝕴n, even before the infamous technical directive which curtailed Ferrari’s season in 2022.

It looks like Leclerc will have to wait until 2026 to have 🅷the opportunity 🐼to fight for the title.

Montoya believes that Leclerc can learn a lot 🧔from Hamilton during this time.

𝔉“I think Charles has a great opportunity to learn from Lewis,” Montoya added.

“Even if he𓄧 gets close to Lewis, I think he could learn a lot from Lewis. Charles does a really good job already, but I think he could learn from Lewis a lot.

“And I think if he is smart about it, he can end up with a Ferrari that can actually win♚ championships.”
