Leo Turini on Leclair's attitude towards Hamilton

      Leo Turini, a seasoned Italian journalist known for his unabashed love of Ferrari, has long sympathized with Charles Leclair and has now given his opinion on the Monaco driver's mindset ahead of the 2025 season, with the seven-time world champion as his new teammate... "Ferocity, ferocity, anger, bloodthirstiness" - that's just me describing Charles Leclair's mindset towards Lewis Hamilton. I'm being completely serious. I was reminded that in February 2019, Andrea Bertolini, former world endurance racing champion and mentor to Charles (who, by the way, calls him "Uncle"), once took his protégé aside and told him, "Now you're going to Australia, where you're going to have your debut race for Ferrari. Remember that Vettel is a four-time world champion, so act calmly, don't get ahead of yourself." And what did Charles say to him? He said: "I'm going to roll Seb into the tarmac." I swear it's the truth. I don't think he's got a different mindset to Lewis. He wants to get ahead of his team-mate from the start of the season, but he's got the same intentions. After all, everyone knows the banal truth that any racer to begin with need to overcome the neighbor in the garage. Sumptuous reception, which in Maranello arranged in honor of Hamilton, Leclair not surprised. A year ago he felt that he will have to share boxes with a bright character, which distinguishes a rare charisma. Like it or not, but Lewis for Formula 1 means about as much as for the world tennis meant Roger Federer or Kobe Bryant - for the NBA. Carlos Sainz was and remains a good racer, but here we are dealing with a phenomenon of a different order. Although he will not admit it even under torture, his task now is to be the reason for the seven-time world champion's impending retirement. As in his time it was with him began the period that eventually ended with the resignation of Vettel. The keys to Maranello Leclaire will not give without a fight. Therefore, we are waiting for a very interesting championship. By the way, including in the context of the latest plans of the FIA to fight with flexible wings....
