Leo Turini, a veteran of Italian motorsport journalism, has never hidden the fact that he considers Charles Leclerc a future world champion, and after his next pole position he made it clear that the Monaco driver has not yet won the title through no fault of his own.
I’m looking for some kind of permanent support. Give it to me, and to Charles at the same time.
This pole position for Leclerc in Baku has an emotional undertone with a hint of foreboding. Let’s see, it’s possible that everything will fall apart again tomorrow, but let’s pray that it doesn’t.
And yet I stick to my point: what we Ferrari fans see in this young guy goes against common sense. I am not saying that Charles is a great champion with a capital C. I will write this when and if he wins the World Championship.
I am talking about something else now – about something that not even the smartest people, who tend to deny everything, should finally understand. Many years have passed since Maranello last built a car that could challenge for the title. Period.
And all the while Leclerc managed to take pole positions in terms of industrial quantities. As a master in qualifying he is much better than Alesi (with all due respect to Jean).
But then he usually makes mistakes at the beginning or something else happens – and yet I don’t even know what we would have said to each other since 2019 if Charles hadn’t given us a burst of bright emotions.
And after all this, it is extremely necessary to provide him with some kind of constant support, you know?
Now on to other topics.
If Mattia Binotto had allowed himself at least half of what McLaren is now doing with Lando Norris, he would have been hung from the first lamppost in Fiorano.
If this continues, Max Verstappen will win the championship again by default, although the Red Bull Racing drivers were once again in the background in today’s qualifying in Baku.
Carlos Sainz is as stable as ever. And if he can somehow overtake Oscar Piastri at the start and come out of turn 1 first, he will only regret the Scuderia saying goodbye to him…
If I remember correctly, Leclerc hasn’t won two Grands Prix in a row since 2019. Generally speaking, we’ll be watching with bated breath…
