Reporters were interested in whether Leclerc would welcome Hamilton.
Charles certainly has enormous respect for Hamilton, but he also respects his current colleague, Carlos. "If I say yes I imagine it being the title of every newspaper! Lewis is such an incredible driver and has achieved so much in the sport.
I think anyone on the grid would love to have Lewis as their teammate as everyone would learn a lot from him. But again, I’m happy where I am and with Carlos it’s a great relationship too. ” There is also a lot of talk about the fact that Leclerc should sign a new contract with Ferrari.
However, that still won't happen. “No talks have been started on my renewal for now,” he said. “I speak with John regularly about the season and the vision for the future, but not yet about my contract situation.
There is still a year and a half before the end of my contract so still a lot of time”.
