In his last race with Ferrari, he wrote a message to Leclerc when they swapped their helmets. “To Charles, you are the most talented driver I came across in 15 years of F1. Don’t waste it. Whatever you do be happy and smile. Thanks for everything,” it read.
It all seems to be a familiar storyline with Ferrari once again. They start the season with a new lease on life, dominating every race. But as the season progresses, they fail to make their mark and ultimately lose out on the championship.
Like Vettel, Leclerc could be a victim of Ferrari’s disasters. However, the season has only had 8 races, and there is time to turn it around. The 24-year-old has been quick this year and will hope that his team can replicate his form.

However, in recent years, there seems to be a pattern emerging. The Italian team has struggled to deliver results at crucial times, because of poor strategies or issues with the car. Sebastian Vettel knows it more than any Ferrari driver, as his team has arguably let him down before.
At one point in the season, Leclerc was in a league of his own both in terms of form and the results. However, in the last three races, he has suffered two DNFs and lost out on a victory because of a strategy error. As a result, he has lost massive ground on Verstappen in the championship.

Another DNF – it hurts… We really need to look into that for it to not happen again.”
