Ferrari must eventually decide whether 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton is treated as their No1 driver, it h👍as been cla💫imed.

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

Charles Leclerc is Hamilton’s 🎐new teammate, a serial grand prix winner with his own ambition of winninღg the drivers’ title.

Broadcast⭕er Laura Winter told the F1 Nation podcast that she is interested by “how Ferrari place the onus, wꦰhether there is a No1 or a No2, and how that is decided”.

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

“Do Ferrari stick to their plan of: whoever qualiꦆfies best ෴is No1 on the road?

“That’s one 🍨of the dynamics that I am really intrigued by.”

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

“Leclerc has won Monza and Monaco for Ferrari but Hamilton is one of the biggest🤪 names in the sport.

“My guess? Charles, at t⭕he start, ge𝕴ts No 1 treatment because he knows the car and the team better.

“But if thing🀅s go that L🍌ewis starts being the lead driver? Then they will need to choose.

“You need to choose who will be your lead driver and who will go f🔜or the championship.”

Ferrari opted n♊ot to name a clear No1 driver under team principal Fr🅘ed Vasseur’s leadership when they had Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

Both drivers were ins🅠tead able to win gran♌ds prix for Ferrari.

McLaren, with Lando Norris and Oscarℱ Piastri, found themselves in a similar boat last year.

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

Lewis Hamilton told to adapt quickly to Ferrari

ꦗWhether Hamilton can stun Verstappen by claiminಌg his record eighth title may 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 𓆉drivers, he knows how to drive a car. It doesn’t matter the colour, it doesn’t matter what the shape of the steering wheel is, he’s going to be fast.

“In Formula 1, it’s the last person who makes a difference. Getting there takes some time. Und🥀erstanding the language of the engineers, understanding what the car needs to be fast, what the philosophy is.

🌠“I wa♛s lucky to drive a Mercedes and a Ferrari engine. They are 100% different, almost the opposite.

“Where Lewis has a great help is with Fred Vassꦚeu🐲r. I drove for Fred in junior categories. It’s difficult to explain what he does, but he does it well!

“For Lewis, having his comfort a🀅nd support - someone he can rely on - will make it easier.

“I’m not saying🐬 he won’t win in Melbourne because Ferrari is always strong there.

“But it can take time to get adapted. Sometimes it goes smoothly and everything works well, sometimes it takes more wo🍃rk.”
