Charles Leclerc has tipped a struggling Ferrari team-mate Lewis Hamilton to bounce back after the F1 summer break

Charles Leclerc has spoken about the different qualities he has picked up from Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari, compared to what he learned from Sebastian Vettel and Carlos Sainz. Leclerc met Hamilton in Maranello after Ferrari managed to lure the seven-time world champion away from Mercedes.

It looked like McLaren was set to secure yet another 2025 front-row lockout, but Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc came storming back to snag pole position for Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix. Leclerc claimed the team’s first pole of the season in a session where colleague Lewis Hamilton — who topped sprint qualifying back in China in March — was eliminated in Q2.
