BREAKING: Fred Vasseur reveals plan to avoid any “teething issues” between Leclerc and Hamilton 👀 “We’ve made them a pair of ‘get-along’ pants—if they fight, they must wear the pants together. So far, it is working.” Read more..

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has unveiled a lighthearted yet strategic approach to preventing any potential friction between Charles Leclerc and incoming teammate Lewis Hamilton for the 2025 Formula 1 season.

With two elite drivers sharing the garage, managing team dynamics will be crucial. However, Vasseur appears confident in his ability to maintain harmony so much so that he jokingly revealed an unusual method to keep the pair in check.

“We’ve made them a pair of ‘get-along’ pants if they fight, they must wear the pants together,” Vasseur quipped. “So far, it is working.”

While his comment was clearly tongue-in-cheek, it highlights Ferrari’s proactive stance in avoiding internal conflicts as they prepare for Hamilton’s highly anticipated arrival. The seven-time world champion’s move from Mercedes to Ferrari marks one of the biggest driver transfers in recent F1 history, and expectations will be sky-high for both him and Leclerc.

In reality, Ferrari will likely implement a more traditional strategy to manage their two star drivers, ensuring both have equal opportunities while also prioritizing the team’s overall success. Vasseur has previously emphasized the importance of a united front, and with both drivers highly motivated to win, collaboration will be essential.

For now, the “get-along” pants remain an amusing metaphor,  but Ferrari’s handling of the Leclerc-Hamilton dynamic will be no laughing matter once the 2025 season gets underway.
