Ferrari must eventually decide whether 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton is tre𓃲ated as their No1 driver, it has been claimed.

Hamilton will debut for Ferrari at this weekend’s F1 2025♌ season-opening Australian Grand Prix, traditionally a happy hunting ground for both driver and team.

Charles Leclerc is Hamilton’s new teammate, a serial grand prix winner with his 𓂃own ambition of winning the🐟 drivers’ title.

Broadcaster Laura Winter told ꦗthe F1 Nation podcast that she is interested by “how Ferrari place the onus, whether there is a No1 or a No2, and how that is decided”.

She questioned: “You have Leclerc, Ferrari’s prodigಌal son, and a seven-time champion. So who gets priority?

“Do Fer🎃rari stick to their ꦺplan of: whoever qualifies best is No1 on the road?

“That’s on🐬e of the dynamics that I am really intrigued by.”

Romain Grosjean, the ex-F1 driver, said: “MဣcLaren is also in this tough position.

“Leclerc has won Monza and Monaco for Ferrari but Hamil🐈ton is one of the biggest names in the sport.

“My guess? Ch🌞arles, at the start, gets No 1 treatment because 💜he knows the car and the team better.

“But if things go that Lewis starts🌌 being the lead driver? Then they will need to choose.

“You need to choose w𓃲ho will be your lead driver a🍷nd who will go for the championship.”

Ferrari opted not to name a clear ෴No1 driver under team principal Fred Vasseur’s leadership when they had Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

Both drivers were instead able to w𒁃in grands prix for Ferrari.

McLaren, wit꧟h Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, found themselves in a similar boat laꦡst year.

Red Bullܫ, by contrast, prioritise Max Verstappen at all costs and he will vie for a fifth drivers’ title in a row in𒀰 2025.

Lewis Hamilton told to adapt quickly to Ferrari

Whether Hamilton can stun Verstappen by claiming his record eighth title mayꦛ depend on how swiftly he is immersed into his new surroundings.

“The adaptation? Ninety♋-nine percent is already adapted,” said former Renault, Lotus and Haas driver Grosjean.

“He is one of the most talented drivers, he knows how to drive a♋ car. It doesn’t matter the colour, it doesn’t m🍃atter what the shape of the steering wheel is, he’s going to be fast.

“𝐆In Formula 1, i𒉰t’s the last person who makes a difference. Getting there takes some time. Understanding the language of the engineers, understanding what the car needs to be fast, what the philosophy is.

“I was lucky to drive a Mercedes🌱 and a Ferrari engine. They are 1💯00% different, almost the opposite.

“Where Lewis has a grꦫeat help is with Fred Vasseur. I drove for Fred in junior categories. It’s difficult to explain what he does, buꦍt he does it well!

💙“For Lewis, having his co💛mfort and support - someone he can rely on - will make it easier.

“I’m not saying he won’t win in Melbourne becau💦se Fe🐻rrari is always strong there.

“But it can take time to get adapted. Sometimes it goes smoothly and everythiꦆng works well, sometimes it takes more work.”
