From 2025 Lewis Hamilton is a ‘guest’ in a Ferrari that has been Leclerc’s home since 2019 and will be for a long time in the future. Jean Alesi specifically emphasized that the Maranello team must properly manage the coexistence between Leclerc and Hamilton: “Charles and Lewis can help the team in different ways, in car development and in the growth of the group. It is a pair that can work, but internal balance and clarity in roles are needed, without creating confusion. One driver should not prevail over the other”, Alesi said to La Stampa.

In some ways Leclerc is a new Alesi for his love towards a Ferrari that has rarely been up to the rival cars, but according to Alesi sooner or later Leclerc will fulfill the dream of winning the title with Ferrari: “I am convinced of it. Ferrari will sooner or later win the Drivers’ title again and when it happens, Charles must be ready because he can do it. The renewal is a statement of intent: he and Ferrari are one, they believe in the same project. A driver who has put love for his team above all. Honestly, I have never seen him in another team’s suit.”
