12.04.2025 Juan-Pablo Montaoya: It will be difficult for Lekler to accept that a new partner can teach him a lot

Montaoya spoke about the rivalry of Hamilton and Lecler. The former Formula-1 pilot believes that the initial advantage in rivalry will be on the side of Lewis Hamilton. However, Charles Lekler will have a chance to circumvent him due to stability and ability to learn.
If Charles will act smartly, he will be a team player and realize that he can learn a lot from Lewis, this can help him great.
But it will be difficult, because Charles is a very good racer without weaknesses. That is, it will be quite difficult for him to admit that the pilot, who became his new partner, can teach him a lot.
It will not be easy for him to come to terms with this. But if Charles understands and accepts it, he needs to be cute and play along, as if to say: yes, everything is fine, let`s develop a car, develop a team to win the title again.
And I think that in the end it can give him an advantage. Indeed, in the end, if Charles will stay next to Lewis all year, then he will have a chance of victory in races.
If Lewis holds a bad race, Charles will have a chance to win it. If Lewis will win, Charles will come the second, being very close and earning a lot of points. And at the end of the year, maybe he will be able to go ahead at all, ”said Montaoya.
