Charles Leclerc and George Russell agree on what it’s like being Lewis Hamilton’s F1 teammate

Charles Leclerc and George Russell both praised Lewis Hamilton, emphasizing how much they learned from partnering with the seven-time world champion. Leclerc explained that working alongside Hamilton at Ferrari provided valuable insights into preparation, garage work, and driving style. Russell agreed with Leclerc's assessment, noting that sharing a garage with Hamilton at Mercedes was a privilege.
