Charles Leclerc says being Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari team-mate lets him learn how the seven-time F1 champion works, what he prioritises and what he is sensitive to, both in the garage and in meeting rooms.

Leclerc said drivers differ in what they are sensitive to, and that he looks to Hamilton’s side of the garage on track to study his driving style and find ways to improve.

The Ferrari teammates have had a tense relationship in recent weeks, but Leclerc stressed the value of a driver with Hamilton’s experience and stature at the team. Leclerc raced alongside Sebastian Vettel at Ferrari in 2019 and 2020; Hamilton is the second F1 champion he has shared a garage with at the Scuderia.
