The Prancing Horses were going to work with Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc in the 2025 season. Both drivers have been number one drivers in their teams for the past seasons. Although, luckily Charles Leclerc managed to trump Lewis Hamilton from the very first race.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/toto-wolff-supports-lewis-hamilton-after-hungary-grand-prix-comments-2025-formula-1-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>While Hamilton is trying to come to terms with SF25 in the 2025 season.<\/a> Charles Leclerc is already looking forward to claiming the first win for Scuderia Ferrari.
