168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc faces a “make or break” year when he goes up against new Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in 2025, F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has claimed.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton will become Le🦋clerc’s third Ferrari teammate next season having se🦂nsationally decided to quit Mercedes.
Leclerc outperformed Sebastian Vettel and has largely held the edge over current teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, who will make way for the incoming Hamilton.
The Monegasque has won just five grands prix compared🀅 to Hamilton’s 103 and Villenueve reckons Leclerc is set for a potentially career-defining period when he is joined at Maranello 𝕴by the Briton.
“He still ha🎃s to prove it,” 1997 F1 world champion Villeneuve told GPFans.
“He’s shown a lot of speed, he’s shown that he’s𒉰 supeꦐr 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.
“This will be make or break for Charles, no♌t for Lewis.”
Leclerc has finished b🎀ehind Sainz at every race so far this season.
Sainz finished third ahead of Leclerc at the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix befꦗore he was forced to skip the next round in Saudi Arabia due to having an appendectomy.
Upon his return, Sainz headed a Ferrari 1-2 to claim a brilliant victory in Australia, before once again ge♓tting the better of Leclerc in Japan.
Former F1 driver Vitantonio Liuzzi has suggested that Leclerc is “suffering”ཧ as a result of Sainz’s imඣpressive form.
“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,” 🌜he told Italian publication Corriere de✃llo Sport.
“I did not expect to see a Leclerc so under pressure and in trouble this year, he is suffering from the performance of Sainz, who will leave at the end of the season, but Hamilton will arrive in his place; therefore, Le✨clerc will have an important battle next to him.
“I hope Charles can find himself, he🔯 will be fundamental for the balance of the r🌜ed car.”
