Leo Turini: you have to win titles with your head

Italian journalist Leo Turini has been writing about motorsport for over forty years and whatever happens in the championship, he is always ready to draw some historical parallel. After yesterday’s race at Imola, he advised Charles Leclerc to read about Niki Lauda and Alain Prost’s 1984 clash at McLaren: the Frenchman was then faster than his partner, but the title went to the experienced Lauda.

The race in Imola had the effect of an icy downpour.
In short, I really like Charles Leclerc. But titles must be won with the head.

Charles is interested in the history of motorsport and I would recommend that he read something about Niki Lauda’s confrontation with Alain Prost at McLaren in 1984.

Sometimes circumstances develop in such a way that one has to be satisfied with what can actually be achieved. The idea of ​​just finishing behind two Red Bull cars is not a happy one at all, but it did give Leclerc the chance to earn 15 points in peace.

They would be even more important for Ferrari’s position in the Constructors’ Championship, although I think the strength of the rivals is still about the same. But in Imola, the Red Bull Racing team was stronger.

Let me explain. I understand the frustration and frustration of the Scuderia fans. But those who thought Ferrari would definitely dominate on all tracks were wrong.

I repeat: I sympathize with Charles because he could not complete the task before him. But success accompanies those who know how to keep calm, be patient and, of course, upgrade the machine effectively. And it would be nice to work faster on pit stops.

Verstappen is a phenomenal racer and you should not give him any presents.

Sainz was unlucky, but like Leclerc he got off to a bad start.

Hamilton, driving a very insignificant car, was painful to watch. But Russell once again excelled. Norris and Bottas also deserve praise.

Overall, of course, the results of the race are not encouraging. But the championship doesn’t end there…
