Charles Leclerc and the Ferraria marriage born in the middle years 2010 with entry intoAcademy of the prancing Horsewhich definitively blossomed in 2019when the Monegasque made his debut in a car built in that year Maranello, immediately winning the hearts of fans. In that season he never held back, immediately challenging a four-time world champion of the caliber of Sebastian Vettelgiving him a hard time also in the following championship, the one that started in July and marked by Covid.
We are talking about the first real home “product”. Ferrari, grown at home and able to win the preparatory categories at the first try. In short, for many he is predestined, but well, in his career he has had to face various problems not linked only and exclusively to his talent, such as undrivable cars with which he has performed several miracles, or a team who incredibly did not support him properly when the single-seater allowed it, see that first part of 2022 in which Binotto and singing company facilitated Sainz on several occasions.
Charles seems to be surrounded by an aura of sensational bad luck, and for this reason some trips to Lourdes we continue to recommend it. Let’s not forget this boy’s mistakes, some as serious as Monk 2021 after acquiring the pole positiona blow at the swimming pools which prevented him from starting the race on Sunday, or France 2022when in the lead, to try to keep up with Verstappen he crashed into the barriers, dashing his hopes of victory.
Ferrari, Leclerc: give this guy a car
Since he’s been a pilot Ferrari However, Leclerc he also made the fans dream on several occasions, especially when the various SF90, SF1000 (the artichoke, ed.), SF21 And SF-23 they didn’t give him the chance to perform at his best. We remember the beautiful overtakings in Austria In the 2022 to the detriment of Verstappenin that match, the last one won by the Monegasque in F1in which he drove a single-seater that remained with the accelerator in operation even during braking, followed closely by a Sainz who certainly wouldn’t have made it easy for him, but then the Spaniard was betrayed by the power unit of his redhead. And how can we forget the defense at the limit of what is allowed Hamilton in 2019 a Monza? The last victory of Ferrari in the Brianza area.
So much delight among some crosses, which can be there over the course of a career. One thing is certain: 23 pole position and only 5 winsthis really means a lot first of all about the talent of the boy, who has always gone well beyond the possibilities of the car, but it’s one thing to do it in just one flying lap, it’s another to confirm himself in the race pace too, also because he’s never had in fact, if not for a handful of months, a means capable of making him win easily Grand Award (Melbourne 2022 aside, here).
Many dispute a Leclerc his meek nature (which isn’t so tame after all, it would be enough to listen to him on the radio how he knows how to resist), he seems to never get angry, or at least this is what we see when the cameras are on, but evidently we are not paying attention to the various radio team of Monegasque during the weekend darker, because if he has something to say, trust me, he doesn’t hold back. The “good guy” face, as some want to imply, is only an appearance.
Ferrari, Hamilton is the perfect stimulus for Leclerc
Why do we say this? There Ferrari he aimed yes at Leclercbut also up Lewis Hamilton for the foreseeable future. This is certainly not a negative for Charleswho signed practically for life, renewing for another three years with an option for the next two, and when extending the contract he was clearly aware of the imminent arrival of the seven-time British world champion.
It makes us laugh, and quite a bit, like a couple of scientists and with some GP behind in the rear are so sure how Leclerc can take them from Hamilton without the slightest way out. Not happy, the certainty in their statements regarding the fact that Charles he will never become world champion, he turns out to be cloying and hilarious at the same time. Of course, if you don’t have the car available, you can rest assured that you won’t win the world championship, and this is an incontrovertible fact.
“Be a good boy”this is how the Monegasqueas if it were a defect with no way out. Nico Rosbergjust to name a “fresh” one, he never seemed like an asshole looking at his face, yet he beat this guy Lewis Hamilton. Same thing regarding Jenson Buttonworld champion in 2009. The cars are now essential, if before the driver could put something of himself into them, today it turns out to be much more difficult when the gap with those who dominate is so wide.
At the same time, however, when you have the car capable of winning, then you have to bring out the talent to emerge. Well, Leclerc he has always shown that he can do it. Of course, some errors have arrived over the years, as also happened with Hamilton or Verstappenbut on the contrary they, Charles he never had at his disposal THERE perfect single-seater. Here, before taking risks and drawing conclusions from pundits despite your career in F1 tell us how you couldn’t get better than twelfth place, we should think for a moment, because then it’s a moment to make a bad impression, even if you are completely unknown to most people.
