"It hurts my heart to see comments saying Lewis is arrogant, or that he's not a team player, or that it's all about him. Nothing could be further from the truth. He's a fantastic team player."

Jock Clear on Charles Leclerc's Mental Strength (F1 Beyond The Grid, 2021)

... great drivers, let's talk about some of them now. And we'll start with the present. Let's start with Charles, Charles Leclerc. What impresses you about him?

JC: Mental strength, if you say, okay, put it in a nutshell, you know, these are the drivers I've worked with, put your finger on the one element of this driver that really shines through. Mental strength, certainly with Charles, quite astoundingly strong mentally.

Are you referring back to Spa 2019, everything that went on there with Antoine Hubert and still coming through? Is that what you're referring to? Is it much broader than that?

JC: No, no, not particularly. No, no. Pretty much everything he's done, you know, I mean, it's easy to forget simply because he is who he is and he has done what he's done in the last two, three years. It's easy to forget that coming into Ferrari as a Ferrari—official Ferrari driver at that age, that's got to be intimidating, isn't it? My word, that's got to be intimidating. You know, it's intimidating for Sebastian Vettel when he comes here with four world championships. That is intimidating stuff...

This news is so interesting because it opened a whole can of vintage f1 tea lmao

First of all, you should know Jock Clear had previously worked at Mercedes (even when it was still BAR honda and Brawn GP).

Jock has been Jacques Villeneuve’s race engineer for year, so when Jacques moved to the new founded BAR team after leaving Williams, Jock followed him there.

After that, Jock has moved onto becoming Nico Rosberg, Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton’s performance engineer, before leaving for Ferrari around 2014.
