Leclerc plays down Hamilton's Ferrari reset, says he's just excited

Charles Leclerc insists Lewis Hamilton isn't in a 'different place' at Ferrari, describing the seven-time world champion as simply excited ahead of the new regulations.

Leclerc argues that Hamilton's first season struggles with the Italian machinery were not indicative of a new 'reset,' but rather a reaction to the excitement of the upcoming regulatory changes.

Despite a disappointing debut year, the seven-time world champion is reportedly eager to push for results as the team prepares for the new era.
