Charles Leclerc has expressed his love for music in the past few months. The 26-year-old released his first-ever EP recently working with French pianist Sofiane Pamart. On the other hand, Lewis Hamilton has been making music behind the scenes for years. The Briton’s only public release was with Pop icon Christina Aguilera titled, ‘Pipe’ where Hamilton used the name “XDNA” to maintain secrecy.
Leclerc admitted that he has not discussed music much with his future teammate. However, Lewis Hamilton informed the Monegasque that he had a passion for this field last year.

Certainly, this could be a thrilling project for both drivers and millions of fans globally who would love to hear the two together.
I don’t know. I haven’t spoken about music too much with Lewis yet. We discussed it last year and he was telling me that he loves music. I don’t know. I’ll speak with him from next year onwards about a potential collaboration.

However, Lewis Hamilton could find it difficult to adapt to Maranello’s culture. This could play in the hands of Leclerc in the early stages to re-establish himself at the Scuderia. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old would need to outperform Hamilton from the first race of 2025 to ensure that he is not sidelined by Ferrari.
Certainly, the intra-team rivalry at Ferrari would be one of the biggest talking points in 2025. Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are two of the best drivers on the current grid. As such, fans would be looking forward to seeing how the two battle against each other as teammates next year.
