Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has revealed that securing Lewis Hamilton's services for the 2025 season was a straightforward process. He dismissed any concerns about Hamilton's recent qualifying struggles at Mercedes and expressed excitement about the prospect of a competitive team-mate battle between Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur says it was 'not difficult at all' to convince Lewis Hamilton to join the team from 2025 and he has no concerns about the seven-time champion's troubled qualifying form during his final season at Mercedes. Vasseur also said the prospect of a competitive team-mate duel between Hamilton and Charles Leclerc would ultimately be good for the team as they chase a return to world title glory.
And I can understand that if it's not going very well, you can suffer in this relationship. 'He was not very well in his mind, but he was clear in Brazil about this, for example. But he also did very well in the last couple of events, so I'm not worried at all.
