Johnny Herbert says Lewis Hamilton could face very difficult times as he has had to deal with such a challenge within the team since Fernando Alonso.
Defeat within the team by George Russell - Hamilton comes to Scuderia Ferrari with this burden, but Charles Leclerc is in great form. Moreover, he has considerable experience in fighting multiple world champions, for example, he sent a certain Sebastian Vettel to retirement very unpleasantly... Herbert claims that, given previous events, the British driver is not necessarily the one to win.
"Nobody should expect Charles to calm down. Let's remember that Sebastian Vettel moved 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, on the contrary! 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 himself.
"Leclerc has invested a lot in 2024, this new challenge will put him at the level that he and Ferrari need if they want to achieve their goals," Herbert said mysteriously.
