Charles Leclerc to headline, coach speaks out

The Future of Charles Leclerc

Jock Clear, Charles Leclerc’s current perfomance coach at Ferrari, told F1 Nation about his protégé: "He has all the cards to win a world championship, absolutely. I’ve been saying that since 2018. We’ve worked with him in the Academy, we’ve seen data that says that. He has the pace in qualifying, and I think he’s the best driver we’ve seen in time-attack. And his race management, if you look at Monza, è just amazing. When everything è aligned, è he is able to get results".

"In fact, it è has not yet found itself in the condition of having a title car. The 2022 è was a good example. There’was really a chance for the Rossa to win the world championship, and at one point we were 40 points ahead, but we were not ready as a team“.

"I think the way è development went, Red Bull overtook us at the end of the year. And certainly things happened that were not for a team that wants to win a World Championship during that year, as Charles" would say.

"You don’t win a championship until we are all at that level: è it is unfair to say that Mercedes won all the championships just because theyé had the best car. They had the best in everything, and the same is true for Max in the last three years".
