CHARLES ITALIAN INTERVIEW JUST MADE ME CRY😭

He just spent the first half a little down complaining about the car and that they have to work with a sad face and then Mara asked “are you a little down/without hope? (Demoralizzato)”

AND CHARLES ANSWERED “Demoralized? ZERO. Thanks for the question I wanted to say that i’ve not lost the hope” WITH A BIG SMILE ❤️

AR reports ferrari are very happy and proud after austin to do a weekend where they turned things around in one day and recovered to a podium even in the midst of all the noise and they even quote fred saying "we needed a result like this"

they say charles understood a lot about the car in the sprint, mainly about the "brake-by-wire" which affects rear-braking that is manually adjusted by the driver on his steering wheel via the brake migration option. they also mentioned - he worked on the differential settings to improve performance, particularly in the first sector, where there are several high speed corners

they also mention that the sunday strategy was a risk personally calculated by charles. after he understood how the tyres felt on the friday-sat sessions. they also say leclerc's race pace was on average only over a tenth behind verstappen (??)

additionally, they praise the sf25 thermal management at being able to take in the high temperatures and braking in austin and see it as just another confirmation how they tragically fucked up in singapore. if ferrari are able to do this in austin, they can do it anywhere. ferrari will actually bring a circuit specific engine cooling upgrade to mexico to try to mitigate what happened in singapore

lastly, they confirmed hamilton actually did not suffer a puncture by the end of the race. piastri just caught up and his pace fell off by the end of the second stint and the "lico" was a symptom of the dirty air/and set-up he chose as opposed to charles

[Charles 'tire whisperer' Leclerc or how this awesome monégasque driver trickes everyone by convincing them that you can easily drive 20+ laps on softs]

Other driver's engeneer: here's softs, i've asked you to simply make it to finish.

Other driver: that's what I'm trying to do but honestly, it's impossible

Other driver's engeneer: Charles Leclerc was able to defend against Norris for 20+ laps in a LICO-25! On used softs!

Other driver: Well, I'm sorry, I'm not Charles Leclerc

[countingstars-17]

look at him!!!

Happy 'Charles Marc Hervé Perceval Leclerc' appreciation Day!

In fact, it turns out that it's not only Charles's 28th birthday, but also a year since I joined the F1 fandom. Words can't express how much my life has changed, how much Charles has changed it. He taught me so many things, but most of all, to love, to believe, and to dream.

Dear Charles, I wish you to always be happy, that nothing ever darkens your face with sadness, that you never have a reason to worry, and that you are always surrounded only by loved ones and good people. My faith in you is endless, as is my love. Happy birthday, Prince of Monaco, King of Monza, and Ruler of our hearts♥️

Run, he's coming for you

If Charles Leclerc has nickel for every time other teams admins posted photos with him, he'd have many many nickels. Which is A LOT and it is not strange. Everybody is Charles Leclerc fan. Especially RBR admin.

"the fact that *** is doing this in the 4th fastest car is incredible"

I never thought I'd be defending our status of the 4th fastest car. OUR car is shit, not yours! Stop downplaying your car, your drivers have at least 2 poles and wins. My drivers have to fight for their lives so that the car doesn't self-annihilate. Stop calling fast and competitive cars tractors. have a little shame!
