Johnny Herbert says Lewis Hamilton could face very difficult times as he hasn't had such a big challenge within the team since Fernando Alonso.
The defeat within the team to George Russell - this will bring Hamilton to Scuderia Ferrari, but Charles Leclerc is in excellent form. In addition, he has considerable experience in fighting most world champions, for example, he ended the career of a certain Sebastian Vettel... Herbert argues that, given the circumstances, the Briton will not necessarily be the winning man.
"Nobody should expect Charles to hold back. Let's remember, Sebastian Vettel signed with Ferrari as a four-time world champion, then Charles arrived and simply kicked him out. He will not be afraid of Lewis Hamilton, on the contrary! He will be respectful, but also aware. He knows that Hamilton will be a serious opponent, but from the first meters he will do everything possible to achieve the best results.
"Leclerc has invested a lot in 2024, and this new challenge will place him at a level that he and Ferrari will need if they are to achieve their goals." - Herbert formulated in a suggestive way.
