Assalamualaykum,
From what little I know, once I'm aware the imam breaks wudu'/solah, I should break away from him. Doesn't matter same mazhab or not.

But playing husn zhonn is advisable. If we don't hear a Hanafi imam say "bismillah.." before the Fatihah, then we should "assume" he'd said it silently since it is sunnah for them to recite silently.

As precaution, I wouldn't look at how he prepares himself before the solah. And would stand out of sight so I don't accidentally see him doing something that would break a solah rukun (missing toma'ninah during i'tidal etc).

Anyway the imam should be knowledgable enough to satisfy everybody.

And Allah knows best.
