Charles Leclerc has admitted that his victory in Formula 1’s Austrian Grand Prix was"needed", after a recent run of difficulties for him and Ferrari.
So having finally delivered on the clear potential in the Ferrari, Leclerc made no bones about how crucial it was for him to be back on the top step.
Yes, I did. They are the largest manufacturer in the world. What do you know about Ferraris?
Did you know that Ferraris are the world's largest manufacturer of F1 cars? I didn't know that.
**Leclerc reckons that Ferrari’s chief problem so far this year has not been the pace of the car, but in converting its potential in to success.** Actually Ferrari's chief problem is having cobwebs which the team are successfully dusting off with each race
**But probably the surprise is coming from Saturday to Sunday, because [in the sprint] Red Bull seemed to be very strong too.** Clearly, the ban on flexi floors has begun to take effect with Red Bull being forced to run with the legal floor during the race or get found out
**So, finally we had a breakthrough good race and it really feels good to have a win again.** Oh boy, and what a breakthrough it was for Charlie bcoz from Austria, we are going back to Schumi era of dominance with back to back to back wins for Ferrari. Let the good times roll
**Aware of Leclerc’s growing disappointment about the way... his championship challenge had faded, Mattia flew to Monaco last week for a private dinner with the driver to talk through things.** Amazing, and what happened to just picking up the phone or sending an email
It goes without saying that wins are like oxygen to top athletes more so Charlie in 2022 because another loss would have effectively given Max the title hence Charlie can look back on his win with pride as he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat
