A brief analysis of Charles “Carletto” Leclerc's plus Magic Mad Max Verstappen's phenomenal performances.
By Spyros Pettas
Talents like Charles Leclerc are born one in 25 years. Back in 2017 he was faster than Vettel at simulators and now on track.
Recently Charles demolished a very serious talent like that of George Russell in virtual GP. All in all, his score against Hamilton is 3-0 in favor of Charles, having won over the Brit in Bahrain (clearly) Spa and Monza in 2019. Max clearly won over Lewis in Austin 2018 in the battle for second place.
Charles has open scores with Magic Mad Max Verstappen, having lost after an unfair move by the Dutch in Austria and having won after a bad call by Carletto in Suzuka where the two collided in the first corner. In Abu Dabi 2019 Charles passed Max, but Max soon repassed him to secure the third place in the Drivers Championship standings. In Silverstone 2019 they had an epic battle showing extreme car control and space perception. In Istanbul - Constantinopole 2020 Charles passed Max in the wet. He also collided with Perez (another driver with big balls...) in Bahrain b 2020 and Max had an exit that cost him his race...
Beside that, Leclerc has won over Vettel (who hasn't said his last word with Aston Martin yet…) with more poles, victories and points than the German in their first joint year in Ferrari in 2019, and much more points also in 2020…
The just defensive moves of the Monegasque in Austria against Magic “Mad Max” Verstappen with worn tyres were phenomenal.
Leclerc has a lot in common with Gilles Villeneuve, except from a great difference in driving style. He rarely slides the car because he drives extremely quick and smoothly, more with the feet than hands… And Verstappen also posseses a godly talent!...
Those two and George Russell are going to characterize the future of F1. Mark our words...
