Huge irritation I had Charles Leclerc in Free Practice 2 from Azerbaijan. After a first session during which he crashed his Ferrari against the wall, In the second one, I wasn’t particularly happy. with the performance of his car… and he made it more than clear on the radio to his team.
Because he wasn’t cut off. Because it was obvious, both in his words and his actions, that he was very angry. Something was wrong. Something was not right… and he was tired of people not seeing the problem he claimed to have. in the Ferrari.
In the end, it exploded. No half measures. Without sugarcoating their difficulties and without thinking that, as is usually the case, someone is always listening.
“I’m going to the pits”
“I’m not going to drive this car anymore! It’s impossible that you don’t see the problem in telemetry!” he told Ferrari by radio.
Then, a warning… which eventually came true: “I’m going to the pits.”
And yes, he went to the pits. Straight to the garage went a Monegasque who is not enjoying it too much, for the moment, from this view of Baku in 2024.
He is, yes, one of the candidates to obtain the pole position. at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, and this piece is one of those for which Charles Leclerc is best known.
