Jean Todt defends Charles Leclerc and stings Ferrari

Jean Todt’s words

Jean Todt spoke with Corriere dello Sport about Max Verstappen: “He is fast and makes few mistakes. He is a fighter like Michael Schumacher. On a human level I know him too little, the common point between them that they are extremely fast and drive the best car in a top-team. That definitely helps.”

Closing remark on Leclerc, with a dig at Ferrari: “In F1 there are the good ones and then a very small group of very good ones of which Leclerc is a part. Charles can be like Verstappen if he had the chance.”

Ferrari was founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, in Maranello, in the province of Modena. It is involved in the Formula One world championship, where it holds the record for the number of world Constructors’ titles won (16), and in the FIA Sport Prototypes and Endurance world championships. The official symbol is that of the prancing horse on a yellow background, the color representing the city of Modena.
