The fake limit imposed on Charles Leclerc by Ferrari’s F1 car

- For Charles Leclerc, an upgrade that Ferrari played down to a degree completely transformed his F1 season.
Leclerc’s 2023 was split into two parts either side of a change to Ferrari’s F1 car that turned around his form and fortune.
Whether bitten by the traits of Ferraari’s unpredictable SF-23, or seeing his attacking style restrained by his and his team’s methods of taming the beast, Leclerc had some uncharacteristically ineffective weekends in the first two thirds of the season.
That was compounded at times by circumstance rendering him a bit-part player, like Ferrari’s communications blunder in Monaco qualifying, sacrificing his race to support team-mate Carlos Sainz’s victory bid in Singapore, or a luckless failure that caused a formation lap crash in Brazil.
But it was the car itself that caused Leclerc the biggest problems. And it wasn’t until the final third of the year when Ferrari was really able to let him tap into his full talent on a consistent basis.

we absolutely need ferrari to deliver Leclerc a title contending car for a whole season, the Verstappen vs Leclerc battles are so good.
I pray that we are blessed with a Verstappen/Leclerc/Hamilton/Alonso/Norris title fight
@@digitaldeathsquid3448Norris is good but wont hold up against these guys
@@digitaldeathsquid3448He is too reliable on his car and not his own ability
@@greenfj1466I think you'll be surprised.
You mean Ferrari need to have better strategists?
We all deserve a real fight between Leclerc and Verstappen. The 2 ultimate talents of our generation going head to head. We´ve seen how this can look like a the beginning of last season and we´ve seen it again in Las Vegas. The spark igniting the world of F1 as soon as Leclerc pushes his Ferrari to the limit is something every Formula 1 fan deserves to experience every weekend. If Ferrari can fix the car and bring the fight to Red Bull, the battle will be better than Verstappen vs. Hamilton.
I think Leclerc is still a little mistake prone
@@Ash-1803 could care less about his mistakes when he drives a car in such a way that it keeps you on the edge of your seat
@@Ash-1803max has made 3 times more mistakes then Charles lol , what are you talking about
@@Ash-1803 i'm pretty sure he has made less race mistakes than lando, carlos, alonso, russell and checo this season, even though his car was very inconsistent and didnt suit him.
@@darkghost4890 You gonna list them?
if it wasn't for that Las Vegas pothole damage and that super unfair penalty, Ferrari would almost certainly have been 2nd in the constructors.
Leclerc is one of the best drivers in the grid, together with Verstappen. What ruins him is the strategic team at Ferrari. He also needs to learn how to be less passive and challenge the team more.
Seems like he's learned that his team is fucking clueless and he has to manage things from the cockpit Alonso style given the last few races. I mean him telling the team what to do to fight for P2 in the constructor's instead of the other way around is fucking tragic for a racing team.
Stop being this delusional, he's pretty dumb. How many times did he crash for no reason other then stupidity?
We all can see his team are clueless and disorganized... The blame solely rests on the team principal to be an effective leader, even he's not that organized, there should be something or sometime that maintains the strict processes demanded by this level of motorsport. At this point Haas has it's act together better than Ferrari
I rate Sainz and Leclerc highly. However, I don’t believe they are the best pairing for Ferrari. When Sainz wants understeer and Leclerc wants oversteer, it either forces Ferrari into a compromise that hampers their overall performance or unravels one of their drivers weekends by letting the other thrive.
Again, they are both very capable. Ferrari just needs 2 drivers that prefer a similar setup. It will result in better mid-season development, higher average points hauls per weekend, and a higher likelihood of a title charge.
yes you bring a fair point i heard rumors they are offering charles a big longer contract to build team around him sainz a smaller one. Maybe they want to see sainz performance next few years and then either replace him. This is the harsh truth but leclerc is the faster driver and now in abu dhabi it appeared to me he has developed racing intelligence plus consistency since japan
The Charles haters been silent since he finished above Carlos 😂 before that all I saw was post saying Charles is now the #2 🤫🤫🤫
Charles is so much better than Ferrari is allowing him to show. We are so close to the ultimate battle for the championship. Both McLaren drivers are elite, George has incredible talent, Charles with Ferrari, and obviously Max at RB. We are so close to a championship season battle that would be epic. Even Sainz and Lewis could join the championship fight.
bro said “even lewis” like he didn’t dog all other non RB drivers the whole season in a car that was never a clear 2nd fastest
@@remsrhythm9408it was clearly 2nd fastest, aston martin was slightly ahead for a few races at the beginning, and then the Merc was 3rd best for 2 other events, and not good at Brazil, otherwise pace wise it was consistently 2nd. Don't overrate Lewis' achievments, he was nowhere near a win, the only time he was, the car was deemed illegal. Car was unbelievably reliable all year, good tyre warm up, great tyre deg, and good straightline and corner speeds. The fact Alonso, Norris, Leclerc finished so close to Lewis is embarrissing since they had very inconsistent cars all year and a lot of bad luck, leading to dnf's or position losses.
"George has incredible talent, even Lewis could join a championship fight." Did you just miss the 2023 f1 season where Lewis finished 3rd and George 8th in the standings with a 59 gap behind his team mate 😂
@@patepulkkinenvtec2403 Lewis is the next Fernando. He won’t sniff another championship.
@@Vanhamj1 well hope he won't get robbed again
Same situation as with Perez and Max early in the seasons, when the car limits performance they are a lot closer together then what they realistically are because Max is held back, Leclerc is clearly a faster driver than Sainz but also gets held back by the car at times, other times he himself holds him back, and if not those, it's the team.
Arguably same thing up and down the grid. 1 driver does good the other struggles. Then it flip. Mercedes drivers and even haas drivers some races lol. Honestly
He’s made very few mistakes this season. Just shut up already on “holding himself back” etc BS that everyone trys to pedal to make Charles seem like an error prone driver
@@Nerdywr He's made plenty of mistakes when it mattered, a lot of them also in practice and quali so they don't show in the results and people forget about those.
We need to see Charles vs Max in similar cars asap. Early 2022 showed what he can do. It would be like Mika vs Michael.
Max = Mika
Charles = Michael
But Vasseur ain't no Brawn sadly.
Horner however is a great principal like Dennis and Whitmarsh were.
@@Firemarioflower Max is way more like the Michael than Leclerc is. Max has that same ruthless streak, Leclerc is too nice.
WRONG again Max fanboy, keep coping@@EntropicExergy
@@Firemarioflower Nope, the last five seasons as well as their karting careers' show that i am right. I´m not the one coping with Max utterly destroying the entire field, you Leclerc simps are.
@@Firemarioflower Max is Michael Charles fanboy
lets hope Ferrari fixes up next season same with merc would love to see 3 teams battling it out
And McLaren
@@OmarIsmael444 yessir and Aston
Merc will be nowhere near RBR. It will be McLaren, Ferrari and Merc fighting for P2 in constructors
Its so hilarious how ppl assume Merc will bounce back right to the top after 2 COMPLETELY FAILED years
Why does it always have to be Merc?
I’ve been saying since his rookie season that Leclerc is special. For me, the fastest driver on the grid over a single lap. Love to see him at his best, hustling a Formula 1 car.
IF Charles gets a car that's as good as the Red Bull, we're in for a treat. Him and Max are so closely matched together regarding their ability. And we've already seen glimpses of it (Austria 19, first few races of 22, Last few races of 23) Their battles are always, ALWAYS fun to watch no matter who comes out on top. I'm a Charles' fanboy (sorry, just passionate) and watching him and Max battle so hard, yet so fair (for most of the time) is so exciting. I genuinely hope Ferrari gives him the car. Please Ferrari?
Some of the upgrades that ferrari are bringing for next season is insane.They said to have gained up to 4 tenths a lap and have a more universal car and some of the best tire wear. Let's hope all of this is true
I fully agree with your comments. Leclerc is a great driver who has only had intermittent opportunities to show everybody. It has been a slog at times but he has constantly pushed for the best result for his Ferrari Team. He is a peer of Verstappen and I long for the rest of the world to understand that. Lando, George and Oscar are very good but only after MV and CL.
I'm not a Charles nor Ferrari fanboy and I agree, it's electric to watch Charles and Max
@@santamom_lolreal4 tenths won't be enough... Unfortunately I didn't think Newy is sleeping...
@sedixmrboss5625 redbull are expecting 3 tenths
how does this affect lebron's legacy?
Ferrari being poor completely overshadows his legacy, when MJ was on top so was Ferarri, Ferarri is a luxury car brand associated with the best athletes and whilst they were winning MJ was driving their cars around and people knew that he was the best around, LeBron has to start driving a Honda if he wants his legacy of top performance to be maintained
@@krisnanakwame That's a new perspective. My sources are telling me that by driving a slow ferrari, LeBron is getting late for basketball practices.
They are both called LeBottle
Azis Ansari was attacking fast all the time, he didn't learn to become strong. Ferarri saw this as a chance to become a different animal, and the same beast. Kanye West couldn't break more records, but Ferarri certainly could. And so Kobe put the gears in motion to set the stage for Lebron's future success going forward, with Kobe faking his death, he lives on a private Island with Colin Chapman, 2 pac, and Ayrton Senna, all who conspired to join the illuminati, which is led by Tom Cruise, the reincarnation of Eren Jaeger.
@@d9zirable🤡
If Leclerc hadn't had that DNS Ferrari would've gotten 2nd.
Wow.
Hopefully now Ferrari have listend to him for next year. Watching him driver handcuffed is painful. In a car he didnt like he was still with Sainz who people said was having the season of his life.
Ferrari need Leclerc more than ever
Mental step for Charles as well after Suzuka
Leclerc not being in a race-winning car is basically criminal, it would be so entertaining to watch him at the front.
LOL he would dominate harder than even Verstappen if his team was competent.
The Spanish GP back in 2022 already showed what incredible pace he has with the second fastest car.
@@Firemarioflowerhe wouldn't sorry, he has a very good one lap ... But prone mistakes and don't think by himself, he let the team screw him too many times...

@@EntropicExergy Verstappen fanboys with their cheap excuses. Max would never had a second and third place finish with the 2020 soapbox. Keep coping and count your lucky stars that Verstappen has a dominant car and Charles has to deal with a clown team. It will only make him stronger so pay attention the next few years.
Leclerc couldve gotten over 300 points if the car had been like it was post suzuka the ENTIRE season,Remove the badluck and he wouldve gotten 360+ which is insane but this is all just hypothetical
Yeah he would've smacked Perez and everyone else. He coul'dve had second in Mexico with mediums, could've won Vegas with mediums, could've finished third in Brazil without hydraulic issues, would've been third in Bahrain, 5th in Hungary if not for the pitstop failure, third in Jeddah if he had started second, won the Australian GP (Sainz was quick, so Charles would be quicker and he was shafted in the qualifying by Sainz and Xavi with that fake rain warning WTF)
and imagine if his car wasn't broken in Singapore (win) , Monza (win), Spain (second place) , Miami (third), Zandvoort (second) had a legal car and 2 stops in USA (third again) or if his dumbass race engineer wasn't sleeping in Monaco (start third, finished third).
What if he was given slicks in Q2 in Canada???? So much that this godawful team got wrong. Potential wasted left and right.
Did i mention he needed more MEDIUMS and not those awful HARDS in some races? Or just another pitstop instead of trying dumbass one stoppers like in US?
The times that Leclerc wasn't shafted, he delivered the maximum and had plenty of pole and frontrow starts.
- Japan 4th was the best he could do. McLaren was way faster but he beat both faster Mercs and his teammate. Got a pace that wasn't too far off Piastri's. Perfect overtake on Russell as well
- Baku pole and third, maximized, smashed up Alonso who had a faster car
- Austria BRILLIANT close fight for pole, second on the grid and second in the races, kept within track limits enough and secured a second place while having the same pace as Perez, who was quick in the race and smashed Sainz with ease
- Spa Kept Verstappen honest for a good while and made it to a brilliant third place, DEFEATED Hamilton who had a quicker race car.
@@Firemarioflower Would still lose to Max though. As usual, you are wrong, you childish baby.
Charles is absolutely the best driver for Ferrari, the fact they completely shut him out through the season was pretty awful.
I honestly think that Leclerc is the only other driver that would get the most out of Red Bull's car. Aside from Alonso and Norris, perhaps. Most other drivers, Lewis included, favour understeer.
Indeed. Leclerc is probably the only driver on the grid who can handle Verstappen's preference of oversteer.
Hes the only one who likes oversteer to the extent that Max does. Alonso actually prefers Understeer, and alot of it, by far the most on the grid. Think russel prefers slight oversteer, but he also likes eating tekpro barriers.
The Red Bull is extremely snappy. Charles will crash more in a Red Bull than in a Ferrari. If Charles goes up against Max, Charles will put himself under loads of pressure and crash more.
@@FrancisFjordCupolaLeclerc likes oversteer. Welcome to driving styles.
@@FrancisFjordCupola😂
You know there's something wrong about the car if Charles is struggling to get pole position. Even in Bahrain alone, that race already predicted how the season would go. His qualifying form in the last five races is even better than Max. That moment in Brazil where RB pitwall is monitoring Charles' lap is proof that they know this driver always finds the best positioning for the car to gain time.
Wild idea: why don't team get two drivers that have the same style?
From this analysis, maybe Ricciardo was a better choice that Sainz - also Ricciardo prefers oversteering, so would be easy to tailor the car for both drivers
Ricc's style is actually wierd. He likes a stable, predictable rear with a very strong front-end. In a qualy lap, he brakes a bit early, stabilising the car and yeeting it arround the corner, trying to send it on the exit. That's something that the 2017-2018 rb car did quite well. Ferrari has and always has had a certain level of unpredictability, you have to drive them with silk gloves and be very careful at what the car wants to do, as it won't let you do what you want to do. Similar to Ricc's McLaren, but for other reasons (the McLaren needed some wierd braking techniques to get it to turn, the Ferrari likes to dance on the rear).
Great video. Thanks for putting this together. A similar parallel video could be done on the RB19?
Charles is the best qualifer on the grid, having a head to head battle against the best number two driver on the grid of 15-7. Give him a car to challenge not just Charles. Lewis,alonso,charles and possibly lando can do it
You did not just say Sainz is better than Russell
@@yoyo-tx6zgRussell isn't really a number two driver
@@yoyo-tx6zg George just needs to get back to keeping it together. I think the lack of rear downforce put a dent in his ability with the car. Perhaps if Mercedes get the balance right next year, he'll be better.
@RealOli I'm no fan of Lewis but if they get their car sorted, I think George may start to look like a number 2 driver in comparison..
@@yoyo-tx6zg i'm a big george fan but i think we all are underestimating just how good carlos is. he beat lando twice, and has been close to leclerc in 2021 and 2023.
Leclerc is the best talent currently f1 have... Not even verstapen is close to his talent.. leclerc is on another level..
I think the end of the 23 season gives a lot of hope for next year as Ferrari chose to develop the car towards Charles in the end, last year it was the other way around. Maybe Vasseur will give Charles an oversteery car in 2024 and not make it understeery through the year like in 2022
I have hear rumours(or maybe its confirmed idk)that ferrari will be going for a new car concept much like the rb and the rb is oversteery,So leclerc will perform next year

100% spot on and a much needed and refreshing video after seeing some of the crazy posts from some people!
Great video!
I remember when everyone was cooking Leclerc because he was performing poorly (points wide) even though he was still faster than Sainz regardless of how the car was setup.
But how does this affect the conversation of lighting McQueen being the goat .
Ferrari definitely need to invest in Leclerc and tune the car to his liking- it’s an absolute no-brainer
My dream is Verstappen and leclerc battling for champion title and fernando taking it from them ❤
So curiously, if just a “minor” floor update could suit each driver, are the teams allowed to run slightly different spec cars to suit each driver? Aka keep the floor that suited Sainz and give Charles the floor he needs?
They would go over budget is my guess and maybe the rules don't allow
This prooves that perez has to endure a car that is made to the opposite of his liking.
@@antoniohagopian213 the drivers have said the teams do not build a car for a particular driver, but what is best to extract the most out of the car
@@recca7stop lying to yourself bro
@@LucasMueller18maybe do a little research so as to not look completely clueless 🤡
“It’s not down to the team to just make a car design for a person,” Norris exclusively told RacingNews365
“Maybe that's a perfect world. It’s our job to deliver no matter what the car is.
“Max said something very similar the other day after Toto made the comment about the Red Bull. I don't think you can just design a car for someone.
“It just doesn't work like that. It's very much down to the driver to drive the car they’re given.
“I think this way, if I end up being slower than my team-mates because of whatever reason, then I'm not doing a good enough job.
If each driver was able to get the max out of different floor specs (for example) would they be allowed to run two different floors all season? We've seen different spec teammates in the same races on several occasions
Shorty answer is yes, buuuut teams don’t like to have the infrastructure to run different cars because there’s a natural limit to how much stuff they can physically carry to each race. Also, it doesn’t allow the team to use the feedback from 2 drivers to improve the car in the very short times required by a race weekend.
Is the vocal shouty and with an echo for anyone else? I'm using laptop speakers which usually are more forgiving than headphones.
Put Leclerc in that Redbull and we'll have an entertaining season.
LOL well if you like to see Verstappen being SMACKED with 30 second gaps from first to second while Max puts another 30 seconds over the next guy with 100% RedBull poles, wins, and many 1-2s, then yeah it would be entertaining.
@@Firemarioflower Hahahahahahaha, nope, Max would utterly destroy Leclerc, who would f it into the wall each time Max is hunting him down. But don´t worry, RB doesn´t want a crashing driver in their car, hurts their development budget because of the BC.

Nice video, very informative 👍
This just shows that if a driver cannot fully utilize his driving style given with the given car they massively struggle. Max is described as one of the most adaptable drivers on the grid, but I have yet to see him be comfortable with a car that understeers quite a lot. I do not think he has been tested in that sense. But there is anecdotal evidence to suggest he also struggles when the car is more understeery, like singapore the redbull was front limited for some reason. And everytime he has not gotten pole he has complained about the understeer. But on race day that dialed in understeer usually protects the rear tyres and is not as costly in lap time.
In the start of 22 and 23 the rb was quite a bit understeery, which is why Perez was, almost, matching max. Say what you want about Perez, but he has shown before that he's not a bad driver when everything clicks, yet max was still slightly ahead
@@jakobnorrestambut if Lewis or Alonso or Norris was Max’s teammate during that understeer phase then Max would get beaten pretty easily.
@@paperplane-db8qf That's the thing though, we can't know. We can only truly compare teammates. Max beat his teammate when the car didn't suit him, leclerc didn't. Whether that is due to max being, relatively, better than leclerc, or Perez being, relatively, worse than sainz, we will never know.
@@paperplane-db8qf Nope, only Fernando has a shot at beating Max in such an event, the others are nowhere near good enough. But it's a moot point anyway, Newey designs the cars to be the fastest they can be. Physics shows oversteer is generally speaking fastest to get around a lap (only isn't the case when poorly executed), so RB will always strive for oversteering cars. Especially when the GOAT that is Max is there.
I just wonder who Ferrari will fire this time. Seems like the team has to re-learn the same lessons with new staff so often they have no chance to truly grow as a collective. The people at the very top just need to keep out of it. Also, team strategy has been horrific for several years now, most noticeable from the pit wall. On top of that, Charles is so hungry and so frustrated he pushes the car past it's limits too often. Add to that some bad luck and a ridiculous penalty or two and the season is another sad failure. It's truly a shame, a lot people in the team putting everything they have into it.
that man is something different
But next year, you'll think Oh they have learned a lot about their car and will only improve it, but I'd bet my last dollar they run into difficulty for the 1st half of '24 and any hope of Ferrari being a championship contender will be squashed. McLaren seems to be the best hopeful for taking it to RB next year and I feel Merc will take another season to really tweak their design to a consistent podium pace.
Angle on this piece is a bit funky. It's not necessarily a false limitation if the driver cannot achieve the result without the upgrade. Either way, can't agree more with the assessment that the season is much more exciting with Charles and Sainz in form. The latter half of the season with Singapore and Vegas in particular were a lot of fun.
There have been some notable drivers that have struggled with cars that don't suit their style in the last couple of years. Yet no one seems to cut lance stroll any slack, would explain a lot though regarding his performance.
lol, you are on your Own Mate…
Lance has always struggled
Lance is a peaky driver, he can be very good when the stars align car wise, but if it's not in that narrow window he's just average or worse. The trait of great drivers vs decent drivers is that even when they struggle, they are not that far off the pace most of the time. The other kind of driver absolutely sinks if they struggle with the car. It's why the likes of Perez and Stroll get flack while drivers like Leclerc, Russell and Norris are cut some slack.
rare inbred fan.
Lawrence strolls burner account found
They need to put Sainz in his place. Sainz does better when the car is slower, they need to lead with Leclerc
what about the tires strategy ?
18" wheels are ridiculous. Cars are bigger than a USA pick up truck like etc are fia/f1 doing!?
please Ferrari don't waste another World Champion Class driver again
Ferrari keeps on Ferrari'ing.
Funny, this could be said for the entire grid of drivers. I would love to see all of the drivers get a crack at running the Red Bull around a track. You wouldn't have to wonder about this solely by seeing what Ricciardo did doing this compared to where he is driving the Alpha Tauri now.
If ferarri build the car around lecrec the would be a championship winning team
isnt this video slowed down a bit?
I'm sure that I would think his car runs on rails. But then I wouldn't be taking it to the edge for a couple of hours nor would I have the skill to do half of what he does. When "in normal car life" those illustrated changes are considered to be big, well, I am absolutely outclassed.

@@Firemarioflower Greatest of the Eunuchs? We didn't need that bit of information, only Leclerc simps like you want to know.
Ferrari and Mercedes' lack of development/regression on their cars was definitely the disappointment of the season.
Simply put, Ferrari doesn't deserve a driver of his calibre. Given how idiotic their strategies gone thus far in recent years. And bureaucratic management style, underlying problem for building a proper race car and winning on merits!
Interesting overview..So once again, it's the car n God knows what it says for the state of the Merc n therefore SLH/GR..😮
So an upgraded car got better. Shocked
I’d love a video on why drivers seem to be much more sensitive to overall car set up than they used to be. Even Perez beat Verstappen when the car suited him more!
When that happen ah i remember when max have issue in the car and sameone crush on purpose in Monaco in qualifing and dumb pitstop under the SC cost him and he take that as test many setup and didnt work and he learn from it and go on to dominant the rest of the season the answer max is not fault the other dont know how to adapted to the car 😂
Ferrari have ended the season with extremely good vibes, there feels like there's a lot of promise for next year. Maybe not to beat Red Bull but to at least challenge more often
Same can be said for McLaren, their turn in form shows they understand the direction they're going and they have 2 brilliant drivers
Mercedes however...there just isn't any of that for them...there's no feeling of confidence or hype for next season
But how does this affect grêmio?
Is it almost time for the 24 season yet?
Mate about 90 days left..
Long time left but pre season testing is sometime in february
I hope this is a clear indication of the 2024 car's development suiting Leclerc. Because as mentioned and as we all have seen, he is by far the only driver who can bring it to Max given a competitive car.
Looking back, at least the last two years, they are mostly in Sainz's side, let's hope they have some people smart enough, to see the reality.

We need Verstappen vs Hamilton vs Leclerc the three best drivers
I dont think hamilton can compete against max anymore,leclercs race pace is very unclear but whenever hes had the chance he had been up there with max but not to be bold im not gonna say ham cant compete with ham but its possible,The reasons are all so clear why ham cant compete with max anymore
1.Ham's quali pace recently had been not very good and inconsistent in quali,has good race pace but at this age you can't expect it to be as good as max and even if it was equal the quali pace leaves a huge gap
2.Ham was slightly better,equal or slightly worse than max in 2021(Take it however you want idc)now he isnt nearly as good as he was back then so him competing against max is unrealistic
I think Leclerc is quicker than Verstappen in qualifying.
That is a common opinion and is true
Don’t want to get my hopes up but this looks like more evidence that Ferrari made real progress with its car at the end of the year
Only to fall back over the winter because their new concept still fails.

@@Allblue1Zandvoort too, but it is an overrated narrative.
"crashed" is a massive overstatement. He slighly tapped Piastri and his flor got loads of damage. Compare that Lewis in Monza, who rammed into the side of Piastri and took off and got away scott free@@barcafan94
@@Allblue1 crash in practice and qualification got counted too
@@samudrasyarif6828 Yes like that did something
Charles is the best driver on the grid. I still remember how monza win happened
Nope, Max is the best, he races circles around Leclerc. Max is the rainmaster, Leclerc is not.
I feel like Las Vegas doesn't get enough mention overall. Leclerc was a monster that whole weekend and would've won that race on pure performance if it wasn't for terrible luck with the safety car - which in a season like this is really saying something. No other driver or car has come close to achieving that without some crazy loss from RB and teamwork (i.e. singapore, which Sainz indeed drove fantastically, but was not fighting two RBs lap for lap).
Fast car and performance are nice but unfortunately Ferrari failed in race strategy.
Its the Ferrari Cooker. It puts a lot of pressure on its drivers. Seen Vettel nearly went bald when he was there. I think the pressure at Ferrari is getting to him. He needs to leave.
This sucks because if you compare Charles' and Carlos' performance in their preferred cars, they are nearly identical, I think Charles' is slightly ahead just because he had his preferred car for longer, meaning he had more time to get comfortable in the car., (japan - abu dhabi, while Carlos had netherlands - singapore). So it is difficult to decide who to develop the car around for the 2024 season, because i believe that both drivers can be world champions if they have the correct car.
Sainz had Bahrain-Singapore 😂 Leclerc whooped Sainz twice in a row and you're still questioning which driver they should prioritise.
I feel like Carlos would be the better no.1 driver since Leclerc I feel puts too much faith in the pit wall. While the Ferrari strategists have improved they still make too many tactical blunders to consistently challenge the pointy end of the field.
Sainz however knows when and how to adapt his strategy as circumstances change, so his more pro-active thinking will give Ferrari the mindset needed for success.
@@legoferrari14Too bad he's slow and inconsistent.
@@barcafan94 sainz more inconsistent than leclerc, what are you smoking?
@@legoferrari14 Charles actually questioning his 1 stop at Austin as well as has iniciative to let Checo pass so both him and Checo can finish in podium.
Ferrari and Lerlec must have sponsored this video
How does this effect sainz then? Team should maximise the performance and needs to balance it.
They should build the best car possible but favor the better driver if possible. And you know who that is
Hell naw Carlos has been an incredible driver this and last season. Dude is 2-1 in the 3 years with Leclerc. Carlos is a world champion level driver he's up there with the best of them idk how idiots keep saying leclerc is obviously better when Carlos was the only non redbull to win this season @@fratista
@@erdemeebilgee3584Last season he finished 62 points behind Leclerc and would have finished the same this year without bad luck.
@@erdemeebilgee3584Carlos is 1-2 to Charles in the standings the last 2 seasons. He lost out in 2022 and 2023
@@erdemeebilgee3584 How is he 2-1? He beat Charles in 2021 (who had all the bad luck and car issues) he got thrashed in 2022 and he lost again this year. Can you not read the driver standings? 206 is bigger than 200.
When the car goes towards caros, Carlos was equal to Charles, more or less and they were getting one off podiums and having mid qualifiyings. When the car goes towards Charles, Charles is 3-4 tenths faster and getting 5 front row starts in a row, and getting podiums in every race (except Quatar and Suzuka which suited the Mclaren perfectly)
Interesting, but tire degradation is still a huge issue. Pole positions are nice, except when they don't convert to wins.
It's not as simple as just tyre deg though. In Vegas and Abu Dhabi, Leclerc's tyre wear was easily as good as it's been throughout the season. The Red Bull is just that much faster over a race distance.
@@dantheracer99 There was improvement, yet it took most of the season to get close. Las Vegas was an anomaly due to the colder pavement. Pole positions show the speed, but it disappears during the races from tire degradation. 2022 season was much closer. Hate to say it as a Ferrari fan, but they failed to gain meaningful progress.
@@dantheracer99ferrari was not that good on hards in vegas
I'm bored about all this focus on the 'non-phenom' that is Leclerc. Sainz is a better driver all things being equal. So why is Leclerc the golden child and Sainz the afterthought?
How is Sainz better than Leclerc ? People keep talking about how Carlos is more consistent but ever since Suzuka the only the only thing he has been consistent is being consistently bad. As good as Sainz is he doesnt have the raw pace and ability that the drivers like Leclerc Verstappen Norris has. Plus I dont see the desire to become a world champion in him
How is sainz better than leclerc in equal terms even though he lost to leclerc on unequal terms favouring himself?Sainz had the car favouring him from Bahrain-Singapore while leclerc only had it his way from suzuka-Abu dhabi so can you explain how Sainz is in anyway better?Despite leclerc having 5 dnfs and Sainz having only 2 leclerc still beat him...
When this channel uses fake video game clips it really gives off a “we are cheap” feeling. They have been doing it more and more. Plenty of real footage to use.
Red Bull will be unbeatable for the next 5 to 7 years Max V has the best car F1 will see to it has more wins and championships than Hamilton and Schumacher just go back to Max V first championship
Sainz would have did better at end of year if the manhole cover didn't destroy his car in vegas. Also his car was too low in abu dahbi and caused the crash. But lets just make excuses for leclerc only 😅
he would been better if he knew how to drive in Abu Dhabi as well.
Sainz did fp1 in Abu Dhabi why didnt he say raise the car up.
lol even if the abu dhabi race didnt happen and sainz got more championship points, leclerc is still clearly the better driver. points dont mean anything especially when external factors (car failures, bad strategy, etc) come into play
Excuses for sainz,leclerc had 5 dnfs while carlos had 2 yet leclerc still beat him by consistently finishing ahead of him since suzuka and carlos cost ferrari p2 by being that slow in abu dhabi,the team only needed him to finish p7 and he failed.While leclerc was faster than everyone except the rb carlos was down struggling against stroll
I Laugh that British Media make out that Max Struggled when the Car had more Understeer, it’s completely Re-Writing History…
Its only Hammi for them
in conclison, in the end they focused only on leclerc
it happened to carlos too
Of all the drivers on the grid today, people make excuses for Charles than any other driver
It's a byproduct of being a likeable driver.
Because he has the most results to back up those claims. He has his flaws as a racing driver, but he's got the results to back up the facts that he is one of the best on that grid.
And he is also the most critisized for his mistakes,Leclerc will be critisized for his crash in france till he becones champion while ham crashing in Qatar is already forgotten.Also his mistakes are heavily overexaggerated,he crashed twice a season and people call it"binning it half of the races"
He is also critized more than anyone else over even the smallest mistakes
@@michaeltelfer3483 fr people still bring up a minor lockup in suzuka last year
Ferrari’s updates have all been targeted to address Charles’ needs. Sainz needs to get out of the team if and when he gets a chance with another leading team. He’s shown he can handle well under pressure, makes few mistakes and is super fast, not to mention he consistently got decent results despite the weaknesses of this years Ferrari. He’s so underrated
Yes, one upgrade suites one driver better than the other. I don't see why the same matters less if it's Sainz who benefits.
Same thing with Hamilton: when he struggels, it's always the car, even if Russell is ahead of him.
Because when sainz benefits he is equal,worse or slightly better than leclerc but when leclerc benefits he is ahead at every single occasion
Wouldn’t it be nice if we didn’t need to have the best drivers battling the car just to race, racing at a pace due to the tires, and the richest team winning every year? Someday maybe.
rari
How come Sainz does not have any issue with car?
Why don’t they just design each car separately to suit each driver specifically
8:22 but the great drivers don’t drastically lose form just because the car is less oversteery. The great drivers adapt to it, and figure out how to get the most out of the car in spite of it.
It’s amusing that some people will twist themselves into pretzels, instead of simply admitting that drivers such as Max and Charles are missing what is an essential skill for a great driver
Which they both do and did.
