According to Johnny Herbert, Lewis Hamilton may face a very difficult period because he has not faced such a challenge within the team since Fernando Alonso.
A team-wide defeat to George Russell - this is the result that brings Hamilton to Scuderia Ferrari, but Charles Leclerc is in excellent form. He also has considerable experience of fighting multiple world champions, having beaten a certain Sebastian Vettel very convincingly, for example... Herbert claims that, given previous events, the Briton may not necessarily be the winner.
"Nobody should expect Charles to hold back. Let's remember that Sebastian Vettel came to Ferrari as a four-time world champion, and then Charles came and simply pushed him out. He will not be afraid of Lewis Hamilton, quite the opposite! He will be respectful, but at the same time aware. He realizes that Hamilton will be a serious opponent, but from the first meter he will do everything to get the best out of him.
"Leclerc has invested a lot in 2024, this new challenge will put him at the level he and Ferrari need if they want to achieve their goals," Herbert formulated mysteriously.
