Leclerc: "I must be more incisive on the strategies"

On the situation in Ferrari Bernie made his ideas known to the Swiss newspaper Blick, and they are quite clear: "Leclerc is a good driver, he is strong, but he still makes too many mistakes. Just like it happened to Verstappen at the beginning of his career. Only if you are calm inside the cabin can you have the chance to fight for the title. My friend Sebastian is now. Ok, he has had some difficult races but luckily he has recovered the gap with his opponents". Ecclestone, a new 89-year-old since he was born on October 28, 1930, was a Vettel fan of the first hour, but is convinced that Leclerc can reach the same level: "Ferrari has the strongest F1 pair ahead of 2020".

Leclerc admitted to being a step below Vettel in terms of strategic choices and the weight of his choices in the global vision of racing. It should be remembered, however, that Vettel made his Formula 1 debut in 2007, and that he has four world titles on his side, while the Monegasque is just in its second season. In terms of strategies, his being "predestined" does not protect him from confrontation with theexperience of one who has run almost 240 Grand Prix.
