Charles Leclerc Relies on Ferrari Honcho’s Ambitious Masterplan as Rumored Lewis Hamilton Poaching Deemed as it’s Foundation

Ever since the start of the 2023 season, one driver has dominated the transfer rumors more than anyone else. The speculation of Lewis Hamilton leaving Mercedes has gathered more steam because of the stalled contract negotiations as well. However, the general understanding is Hamilton wants to continue with the Brackley outfit. The delay is mainly because he wants to see what he investing in and if the W14 upgrades work as expected, he will put pen to paper. However, until that happens, signing Hamilton is a possibility. A possibility Ferrari president John Elkann is ready to explore and make things exciting for the Tifosi and Charles Leclerc.

The rumor of Hamilton leaving Mercedes is joined at the hip with him joining Ferrari. However, despite multiple sources stating this possibility, Mercedes and Hamilton have always discredited these rumors. However, after weeks of just speculation, we finally have some hard evidence of this scenario becoming a reality.

According to the Daily Mail, the move to bring Hamilton to Ferrari might have far-reaching implications for Leclerc’s career as well. There are two scenarios that can take shape if Hamilton is lured to Ferrari. First, the one that affects Leclerc more is that Ferrari president John Elkann favors Hamilton for Leclerc and signs the Brit and sends the Monegasque the other way.

Leclerc will be in a team where he will have to regularly fight for his place and earn the trust of his team from scratch.

Currently, Leclerc is outperforming his teammate and is the senior Ferrari driver. However, if Hamilton joins the Reds, the Monegasque might lose his social standing on the team and potentially upset the dynamic. Hamilton is angling as hard as the young Monegasque to win a championship. This burning desire to achieve the same goal can cause potentially be disastrous for the Prancing Horse.
