Charles Leclerc has strongly defended Lewis Hamilton’s level in 2026.

“He’s exceptionally talented. He’s driving at an exceptional level this year.”

Leclerc says having Hamilton alongside him is also raising his own standard, with the Ferrari pair continually pushing each other to improve.

“It’s good for me… we really push each other in order to do better, which is great.”

🚨| Scuderia Ferrari officially addresses Christian Horner rumours, and reaffirms their partnership with Fred Vasseur: "In the recent days, there has been increasing speculation surrounding Scuderia Ferrari HP, and particularly dedicated to its leadership. Ferrari's position is clear, has not changed, and Ferrari has made its choices already, and we have full confidence, in Fred Vasseur and in his team, and we continue to do so. At this time and in this particular moment, it's really important that the team remains united and cohesive, and we are focused all the energy on the work ahead."

"Ferrari has always, attracted extraordinary interest, and is only natural that many professionals aspire to be part of it. It is a reflection of the strength of what Ferrari really represent. So this is why we really want to avoid and we do not intend to fuel speculation or comment on assumptions coming from outside the company."

"And is not just related to the story in The Times of Mr Horner, but in general, there is a lot of speculation about Fred. So again, we have confidence in Fred Vasseur and in his team, and we continue to do so. And the position is clear, but not just now. We already confirmed in the past."

- Maria Conti, Chief Communications Officer

- Leclerc accepts mediocrity & gets used to it
- Lewis turns up, points out this is insanity
- They take over a year to fix these fundamental issues
- Both drivers now perform at the peak of the car
- Leclerc fans: "Why are they building a car for Lewis"

?

[DrivenF1 @F1_driven]

Notice that every week Leclerc is behind Lewis, there is some "leak" for them to cry about & blame?

Quotes from the article that are missing 😇

[Smash#44 @Smashersty]

Ferrari’s Golden Boy! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[sim @thrtysvnth]

Jenson Button, 2020: "[Lewis] does not play games. He will never play dirty. In fact, I think he’s the cleanest guy I ever raced against."

Lando Norris, 2024: "There's always guys you give extra meters, and there's guys you know you can race well and Lewis is one of those guys."

David Coulthard, 2024: "Lewis actually has done it in a very, let's say, uncontroversial way. He's a very clean racer."

David Coulthard, 2026: "Of the four, Schumacher, Hamilton, Senna, Verstappen, arguably Lewis is the least controversial on track, which should be acknowledged of course."

Luciano Burti, 2021: "By the way I think when you compare Hamilton with other great champions, like Senna and Schumacher, he is the cleanest of these guys."

Etc.

Lewis Hamilton will have 400 grand prix starts before the end of this season. The same 2 or 3 moments, maybe 5 at a stretch, in FOUR HUNDRED races are recycled online by people who've never raced in F1, to deem him a "dirty driver" but they don't change objectively staggering evidence and history of the contrary or stand up to opinions of drivers who've actually raced him.

The weight of 7 stars is just too much to handle for the average driver I guess

Yeah fuck Charles, this guy is no team player 😂😂😂😂 absolute loser

Dear @LewisHamilton

Everyone is so afraid of you.

Even today when you were right behind Max Verstappen ... I could really see tension and stress building inside him.

Since you are second in the WDC standing, they find the need to penalize you in every way they could despite knowing that there was no reason for them to do so ... so they could stop you from going to the top.

What is the real reason they don't want you to get your 8th?

Do you know?

I guess I know.

Anyway ... the people of this sport and the governing body have proved over and over again that you are truly the GOAT of F1.

Every FUCKING race week ROFL

Enjoy your supremacy Lewis

[Lewis Hamilton @LewisHamilton]

Sometimes you just can’t catch a break. Frustrating, but we move. Going to do everything we can to give ourselves the best possible chance tomorrow. Keep the faith, send good vibes

Hey @OllieHarden - When are planning on writing that retraction & speaking to @Thandietweetss about the racist messages & death threats she received, purely because you you failing to do your job properly?

[Stefan⁴⁴ | ステファン @fortifoursi]

Thinking about when I asked Lewis how he was feeling after winning for the first time for Ferrari and he said it wasn’t physical exhaustion but emotional. Riding a wave of euphoria; the congratulations he got from everyone, the team embrace, the reactions from the fans and coming down from all of that, to ground himself was taxing. But with the championship ahead he has to keep his focus and keep pushing. My goat 🐐🔥

[Henry Mill @_HenryMill]

So let me get this straight. The FIA is helping Max again because he apparently can never, ever win entirely on his own without the fastest car or cheating by the FIA:

1. Verstappen struggles with race starts, so the FIA changes the rules to make starts easier, while Ferrari's smaller turbo solution gets neutralized. 🤡

2. Verstappen can't keep the car on track because of Red Bull's rushed rear wing design (despite it being a driver issue), and now the FIA is looking into the Ferrari pioneered "Macarena wing" over safety concerns. 🤡

3. Ferrari introduced a rear diffuser solution and the FIA banned it. Mercedes later brought a comparable concept, and it suddenly was allowed. 🤡

4. Ferrari introduced a halo winglet, and you guessed it the FIA banned it. 🤡

5. Ferrari introduced an exhaust wing. And surprise surpise, the FIA is going to ban it in 2027. 🤡

6. Lewis has been penalized by the FIA on multiple occasions for relatively minor or trivial infringements, while others have escaped sanctions for similar actions. 🤡

Imagine the FIA doing this to Red Bull in the previous generation of cars. Of course not, Anything to help Red Bull and the "gEnErAtiOnAL tALeNt".

Not a serious sport. 🤡🤡🤡
