The internal duel between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at Formula 1 racing team Ferrari is one of the big topics before the start of the season in Australia. Ex-racing driver Timo Glock believes that the new addition will prevail.
The team duel at the Scuderia Ferrari is more excited this year after the arrival of record world champion Lewis Hamilton than in previous years. Timo Glock also expects a “very interesting” duel with top dog Charles Leclerc, as he assessed before the race in Melbourne at “Sky”.
The 42-year-old also expressed a guess that not every F1 expert should sign: “That Lewis Hamilton will be a little step ahead of Charles Leclerc at the end of the year.”
Glock justified the thesis that the Monegassen had seen “one or the other mistake” in recent years. The Ferrari pilot lacks consistency.

Nevertheless, in the first races, Leclerc has an advantage over Hamilton “because he simply knows all the processes,” said Glock. “But I believe that Hamilton will work out from the middle of the year and will be a small step before Leclerc. But it will be a tough fight.”
RTL-Expert Christian Danner sees it exactly the other way around, how he was talking to sport.de executed. “No, I don’t think he will be at Leclerc level, especially in qualifying,” said the ex-racing driver.
The complete interview with Christian Danner:
Hamilton was well received by Ferrari and was also recorded. “With the first results”, the picture will change. “It was no different with Sebastian Vettel. He also got into Italian, quickly won before reality.
