Leclerc plays down Hamilton's Ferrari reset

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc suggests Lewis Hamilton's improved outlook is simply down to excitement for new regulations rather than a significant performance leap.

Leclerc insists the seven-time world champion isn't in a 'different place' compared to his debut season, noting Hamilton is just eager for the new regulations.

The Monegasque driver emphasized that Hamilton's happiness stems from the excitement of testing the new cars, rather than a radical improvement in the SF-25's competitiveness.
