Lewis Hamilton commented on a special edited picture of him with Charles Leclerc that a fan displayed at Imola earlier this season. The picture featured Hamilton, Leclerc, and Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur.

Earlier this season during F1’s first trip to Italy for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, an oddly familiar picture became a social media sensation. The edited image depicted Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc as Biblical characters (Jesus Christ and Mother Mary). It also featured Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur as the Pope.

Recently, Hamilton referred to the image while speaking with the media at Monza. He asked Leclerc:

“In Imola there was this amazing picture of me, you and Fred. Did you see it?”

Leclerc replied:

“As Saints?” before laughing.

The seven-time F1 champion will move to Ferrari in the 2025 F1 season. The image with Leclerc and Vasseur depicts the team’s lineup for the season. Carlos Sainz, who has raced for the Italian outfit since the 2021 season will move to Williams Racing to partner Alex Albon.

Heading towards the second race of the season in Italy at Monza, Hamilton mentioned that this Grand Prix feels “different.”
