Leclerc admits being blown away by Hamilton's unique braking style

That Hamilton is a superlative driver, no one can deny, and it comes as no surprise to Leclerc.

"I expected many things from Lewis joining the team, and having so much success in F1, you kind of expect to see the speed and the special things in terms of driving," Leclerc told media in Canada.

However, a trait that's not become a trademark of sorts for Hamilton, did catch the Monegasque off guard.

However, the 7-time world champion's late-braking skill is not what leaves Leclerc speechless.

"What surprised me the most, and it is one of the things I did not expect, is his discipline, it is very impressive," added the Monegasque, celebrating his teammate for the way he's able to branch out into other industries outside the sport without sacrificing his focus on his F1 career.

"That is something I will take as an example for me, because we've all got passions, we've got projects outside of racing, but obviously for all of us, the most important is that we stay focused on racing, and Lewis is very, very impressive at that," Leclerc concluded.

Lewis Hamilton recently attended the premiere of the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt, which the 7-time world champion helped produced. He currently sits P7 in the Drivers' Championship 25 points adrift Ferrari teammate Leclerc.
