So far, everything is about Hamilton, Leclerc is almost invisible...

At least that's how they behave at Scuderia Ferrari, as if Lewis Hamilton had won his seven world championships with them and is now preparing for the eighth. Meanwhile, there is a rookie on the team, a certain Charles Leclerc...

However, the situation is quite the opposite: At Ferrari, Hamilton is the rookie, while Leclerc is the "old hand," and it's not at all certain that the currently overhyped world champion will be able to keep up with him. It also occasionally feels a bit awkward that the social media platforms of perhaps the world's most famous team are practically operating 24/7 as Team LH FAN SITE - while hardly any mention is made of Leclerc. Of course, we understand, business is business, now is the time for this, but somehow it still evokes mixed feelings in this person.

Now, strictly relying on the facts, Lewis Hamilton today completed his first laps in a Ferrari, taking the SF23 onto the track, completing 30 laps. The Brit completed ten-lap stints, practiced starts, and did so on different tire compounds amidst harsh weather conditions.

Next up was Charles Leclerc, who did not get the slicks on, completing his first "installation" laps in 2025 on wet tires. Nevertheless, Charles was quite in his element and even treated the large number of fans gathered for Hamilton's debut to a little extra show, which the crowd of course received with great enthusiasm... Continuation soon, with substantial work.
