Charles Leclerc has lost his smile and questions his future in Ferrari

Charles Leclerc is dejected

Charles Leclerc is dejected and has lost his smile. And there is to understand him. At the beginning of the season, it was thought he could fight for the world championship title, but instead, again this year, nothing to do for Ferrari. That has further extended his abstinence. “It was a race where we had no pace, we are a minute behind Verstappen,” said the Monegasque, as reported by Sky Sports. “It makes me think about Spa. We have to understand why, it was not an easy weekend. But it doesn’t explain such a large gap, we have to work to avoid such bad days.”

“It’s clear that we suffered compared to Mercedes and Red Bull. It hurts to be so far behind,” added Leclerc, who wonders about his future in Ferrari: he knows very well that he has the potential to beat everyone and that he is not inferior to Max Verstappen, just to name a name, not really by chance.

Charles is the third driver originally from the Principality to have participated in the Formula 1 World Championship after Louis Chiron and Olivier Beretta, as well as the youngest ever to have won a Grand Prix driving a Ferrari single-seater. In 2019, he made his debut with the Rossa, taking Kimi Raikkonen’s place, and in March he scored his first career pole position, in Bahrain.

His first success with the Prancing Horse came at the Spa circuit in Belgium on September 1, 2019.
