Charles has been in the red car for the last 5 years. There is no doubt that he will have a better understanding of the car when compared to Lewis Hamilton. However, Lewis does have more experience and more accomplishments.
It will be interesting to see how fast Lewis is when compared to Charles in 2025. Charles says he is looking forward to welcoming his new teammate to the team. Let’s see if this friendship turns into a rivalry.
Ferrari looks to prioritize 2025 challenger

Since Lewis will be joining the team, he will bring the experience and skill needed to get the team back on top. There is no doubt that Hamilton will be able to provide the team with insight to help develop the car. We know that this was something Mercedes did not do in 2022 and 2023. So if Ferrari decides to learn from Lewis’ experience, they could stand a good chance of winning the Championship in 2025 or 2026.
Let’s see how Ferrari develops their car for the 2025 season. We should get an idea of how fast their new car will be during the same time next year.
