Charles Leclerc urged to learn from Lewis Hamilton after Barcelona GP
Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory for Ferrari at the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix, employing a three‑stop strategy and benefiting from the virtual safety car to claim his 106th career win. Charles Leclerc struggled throughout the weekend, suffering a qualifying accident, a power‑steering failure and retiring from the race. Former driver Juan Pablo Montoya said the situation offers Leclerc a valuable chance to observe Hamilton’s champion habits, noting that “it is an amazing opportunity for Charles to understand what makes Lewis Hamilton a seven‑time world champion.” Team principal Frédéric Vasseur expressed optimism about Leclerc’s form, highlighting recent car upgrades and a better feeling in the car despite the recent setbacks.
