Is 2025 a make or break year for Charles Leclerc as he swaps Carlos Sainz for Lewis Hamilton as his Ferrari teammate?
Jacques Villeneuve believes Charles Leclerc ’s career is facing its “make or break” moment when he lines up with Lewis Hamilton .
1997 F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, speaking to GPFans, was asked whether he sees Mercedes’ 2025 driver line-up, which sees George Russell step up to the plate as the team leader, as similar to the dynamic at Ferrari where Leclerc has assumed control over the past few years. This display of speed impressed Villeneuve, but the French-Canadian reckons Leclerc still has a lot to prove as he goes up against the known quantity that is Lewis Hamilton.“He’s shown a lot of speed, he’s shown that he’s super fast, but he’s not the one who won the race for Ferrari last year. So it will be interesting to see how that balances out inside Ferrari.
With Sainz riding the crest of a wave of form, former F1 racer and occasional FIA steward Vitantonio Liuzzi believes Leclerc is currently feeling the pressure of trying to match his teammate.“Leclerc and Sainz? I have to say that last year, in the second half of the season, I saw incredible growth from Carlos. He proved it with the victory in Singapore.
