Not a problem at all, great interview, I've been critical about your stuff before so suffice to say, I can be quite direct 😂 Fantastic adaption to the normal format and very well done.
7:48 A little bit TOO on the edge…I’m not sure I agree with you that LeClerc is pound for pound the fastest over one lap. And even if he is, that doesn’t translate into a full race. LeClerc’s problem is micromistakes over many laps and distance. He does seem to let pressure get to him in a small way but that’s enough in races such as these. These will build up into a much bigger mistake over the full distance.
No, that would mean Ferrari would need to be more competent. They may improve for a little while, but until they change their culture they’ll never be dominant. It was the same with Alonso they gave cars that were almost good enough, but at some point they just shoot themselves in the foot. It’s just part of who they are right now, and they need to change.
I can actually see this happening sooner rather than later, because right now Leclerc could well be wasting his prime years in a team that's is not capable of winning championships.
He has a clause in his contract that lets him leave if his car doesn't finish on the podium of the Constructors Championship and him at least battle for Top 3 or maybe Top 5 in the Drivers as well
@@gameofender4463 George ain't getting a Valtteri or anything of that nature. Not until Mercedes are back championship fit. They need all the points they can get.
Not sure when, if ever, Ferrari will realize that their only success period in the recent past came when they kept the Italians out key decisions in the team. Todt, Brawn, and Rory Byrne were key figures in Ferrari's successes in the 2000s and no prizes for guessing what's common between the three of them. To be fair though, Domenicali didn't do a horrible job but apart from the 2008 constructor's title, most of that was Alonso bringing performance out of cars that didn't have much to give.
i don''t think this was the main the problem , nationality is not a factor which determine if you have good people or not , the problem is : does Ferrari have talented people inside the team? answer: no now John Elkann ( Not the most italian) gave ok to Vasseur to bring many engineers from other teams
It's not so much about Italians running or not running the team, it's about competency. If you have all the money in the world, and are serious about competing in F1, fire your quite obviously sub par race engineers and strategists who've screwed up so many of your races. Stop firing team principles every 2-3 seasons
If anyone is familiar with the Montreal Canadiens hockey team, Ferrari is just like that. That team is the most successful team in terms of hardware, but hasn't won a single championship since 1993. What's in common? One requires players to speak french, the other requires crew to be italian.
Do you see speaking French as a problem? Come on, that's stupid. It's a canadian team speaking their language, that's common sense 😂 And this is coming from a spaniard (we dislike France)
@@HibiTeamQueso No, but good players who speak french is a strict subset of good players in the world. Just like competent people/engineers that is italian is a strict subset of competent people/engineer in the world. By requiring your player to speak french/employee being italian, you automatically limit what you can get. If you can't understand this simple concept, you yourself are simply stupid.
@@HibiTeamQueso you're forcing players from Scandinavia/Americas/Southern Europe to learn French just to be a part of the team. Thats dumb and something that can and has hindered the team.
@@HibiTeamQueso There is no problem with French. The problem lies in the fact that keeping such a rule means that those who don't speak french will simply not join the team, meaning that the team loses out on some really great players all because they don't speak french.
@@SadMarinersFan what do you think happens on football (soccer) when you go to a team from a different country? Also forcing english is not very different. Not everyone speaks english even tho americans think so
He already wants to leave. He's scoped the situation. He knows they are not competent enough to mount a serious sustained championship effort. Charles would be better off in a midfield team heading in the right direction, then maybe switch back to a top team when the opportunity arrives. That would be far less frustrating
@@wayne1da121 Competetent, but toxic as hell if it came down to 1st/2nd drivers. That's the main difference with Ferrari: more indecisiveness about that topic, but less successful application of the ingredients to get the job done.
“Charles should leave”, “Lando should leave”,…. We will probably have a lot of videos like this before it actually happens. I am sure they would love to, but there are no spots available in the short term. Hamilton wants to continu, Alonso will continu as long as he has a great car, Stroll will not fire Stroll. Checo has another contract year, though if he keeps moaning at the team like he has recently they might dump him and then that as the only top seat that becomes available in the short term. I can maybe see Lando going there because he is Max’ buddy and he might see him as not the bigges5 threat. But there is no way he would want Charles in that seat.
Yeah man you pretty much hit the nail on the head. He can't leave because he's got nowhere to go, at least if he wants to be able to race at the front.
I’ve been a Ferrari fan all my life, and I’ve been a big Leclerc fan since GP3. Yet I’d still support him leaving the team as I was fine with Fernando leaving as a big Nando fan. Ferrari is in shambles and I don’t want Leclerc to be the next Jean Alesi.
From 1980 through 1999 Ferrari had 3 WCC and Zero WDC… From 2005 til today they’ve had 1 WDC and 2 WCC..So the 20 years before 2000 where mostly Meh and the 18 years after 2004 have been pretty hit and miss…But hey Ferrari fans you’ll always have 2000-2004 to beat your chest to
Very pleased to see Scott Mitchell-Malm as your guest. It says a lot for you in your journey to being a solid F1 reporter/commentator that he was happy to talk turkey with you. Deserved. As for Charles I said earlier that he should let this year play out for 2/3rds and then think / plan things through. Do his very best and then it’s up to others to want him. Don’t get too hyper at all and definitely not too soon. Your best is as good as anyone’s.
Assuming Red bull will take the chanpionship this year, the last 14 seasons will all have been won by Red Bull or Mercedes (15 if you want to count Brawn in 2009 since they became Mercedes). The way I see it you need to be in one of those teams to win a championship at the moment. That may change, Ferrari may get their act together, and Aston may continue their rise but at the moment those are the teams to beat.
imagine the craziness that would ensue if Charles Leaves Ferrari and Goes to AMG and Lewis goes to Ferrari and it's lewis who turns Ferrari around somehow😅
If Ferrari had left Stefano Domenicali in place all these years they would be on top, instead they insist on changes every few years that only set them back over and over again
Not going to lie, the beginning comment you had about Ferrari is a sentiment I thought about for awhile. Unless you are a driver that can galvanize a team together and bring high level people into the team like Schumacher and Lauda. Ferrari hasn’t really accomplished that much after the mid 60s. In a way it adds more to your name because you had to do more on and off the track to get that done. You almost have to manhandle that team like a mad dog tbh but hey that’s what makes it a challenge. “Get rich or die tryin? More like Get Chips or receding hair line” -Sebastian Vettel 2015-2020
@@jasonhenry9440 It will be very tough to decide, I'm glad that there is Aston Martin now, cause without it he and Norris would eat shit easily, the war would start at Mercedes to choose and pick 1 of them, and there's also Schumacher in the middle of the road when Hamilton retires, and nobody will accept to go to RB with Max and his Dad preventing anybody from challenging them
@@jasonhenry9440 Either Mercedes when Lewis is Retired or Aston when Fernando is Retiring. Or he's going to Audi in 2025 cause that's how long his Contract is lasting
Another point about early 2000´s Ferrari dominance, Bridgestone played a big role in that. Ferrari was Bridgestones number one team while Michelin had multiple teams (Mclaren, Williams, Renault) which got equal treatment, tyres.
I think it’s often forgotten or overlooked that James Allison initially went to Ferrari from Lotus in 2013/14, which should have spearheaded a new, more “international” Ferrari team. The 2015 Ferrari was quite good but if I recall Allison had to leave Ferrari for personal reasons in 2016 (with the also good 2017 car in development) which left them back at square one once Allison’s effect began to fade by mid 2018.
Which team potentially has a room for Leclerc though....... Certainly not Mercedes, even if Hamilton retires Mick is still on the sidelines, even if Mick is not as good as Leclerc but there's always a stronger connection with the team Red Bull doesn't seem like an option to me as long as Max is there. I mean, why would Red Bull even want Leclerc when they have Max Aston Martin I doubt it. Stroll isn't leaving anytime soon, neither is Fernando I mean as long as guy can drive at a somewhat high level Aston is not giving him up; and Alonso dropping off is def not happening in just 2 years All the other teams could make a step-up but like what is the probability? Tbh Ferrari is still better than Mclaren and Alpine and going to a lower achieving team is even greater risk when compared to staying at Ferrari. So Leclerc certainly wants a race winning team, but who can offer him the chance? -- No one......
Unfortunately all the teams are struggling. Mercedes and Aston Martin are the only ones who have shown any improvement , with the engines getting development back in 2026 it’s not worth leaving yet.
I mean where is he gonna go... RB Or Mercedes.. No thanks Verstappen and Russell will Mop the Floor with Charles. Plus I doubt RB wants to get Rid of Perez and LH Still has a few seasons left. Mclaren: Nah... They aren't even able to built a competitive car for Lando.. AM: Alonso still has a few seasons left. So idk where is he gonna go
Okay, so hear me out on this one. If Aston progress to the point where they're fighting for titles and the limiting factor becomes Lance, not the car. Lawrence Stroll (a Businessman) will then have to decide whether keeping his son in a seat is more important than the sucess of his business. Could there then be an opening at Aston for a driver like Charles or Lando?
It seems to me that Carlos is more hungry this season than leclerc. Carlos has been always consistently hungry even when he was not in a good car. Of course the peak of leclerc is higher than Carlos but Carlos has got the hunger that max has.
can you explain how on earth you claim that carlos is more hungrier than leclerc? from the data it is not true in the slightest, all the time leclerc in interviews are always talking about wanting to fight for wins and what it will be to fight redbull, meanwhile sainz in every interview is just talking about aston martin and mercedes not even talking about redbull and wanting to win. and if youve watched the season you will see a p3 before dnf a p7 on a engine penalty and a p7 caused by a ferrari screwup, and a racing incident which granted was an ambitious move by leclerc which caused it. but nowhere is there any evidence carlos is hungrier than charles lol
For reference, Max had came from being known as that guy who was known for constantly crashing through his aggression against others to know being considered the current best. He only did this because RedBull kept improving year after year where as Ferrari takes a step forward that then take 10 steps backwards.
Where can Charles go? Hammy will probably stick around for a few more years and George is the heir apparent. RB wont want him along side max, Aston if they stay strong has a permanent Alonso and an even more permanent Stroll. McL have their young guns, alpine is locked up for years, and Audi wont be here until Charles is middle aged..
Yes, I mean this makes me so sad..For me Sergio has been my driver for the last 12 years..but my team, since my dad took me to my first GP back in 1986 or so has always been Ferrari. I dreamed of owning a Ferrari all my life because of F1 (thankfully i am fortunate enough to have met that goal and i DO own one). I was super excited when Charles Joined Ferrari (He is my #2 driver all day every day). We all know Charles is most certainly good enough to be a world champion. I was certain that by now he would be with Ferrari! uggggh i don't know WTF is going on with the car! It is so aggravating. Yea, at some point he is going to have to move on, but where? That's the problem, i don't want him to get relegated to the midfield and never get the chance to win a season...then again, not like SF is doing him any favors there anyway. I'm gutted here.
It's a cultural issue. In italian culture, it's common to look for someone to blame, rather than admitting the errors, and trying to understand the source. But is not only internal, is also external, they were pointing to binotto and demanding his head, no patience, and no way to accept errors to understand them. Italian culture is very political, is about not admiting mistakes and find someone to blame. They can not move forward until they learn from their mistakes
Italian mafia were more organized than Ferrari ever been. Ferrari doesnt know what makes an F1 team and theyre still getting paid millions of dollars because they compete. Its high time everyone treated Ferrari for what they are, a midfield team. That will make them open their eyes, people should stop worshipping ferrari.
No, he needs to pull his aggression back 2% on track and drive within the limits of the car and track. Look to his teammate, its NOT a problem with the car, its with his driving. Nevermind Ferrari not being in top form at the moment, when the driver cant even finish races consistently while his team mate can. They *could* take 2nd in the championship but not with their lead driver making so many mistakes. Even if he went to another team, he'd still make the same mistakes.
Is Leclerc another Jean Alesi, french speaking driver touted as the next big thing but joins Ferrari after a failed title attempt and during a tumultuous reconstruction period
The issue about hiring only italians isn't that Italy doesn't have competent people. But it's with every other quota. By having that quote you don't hire the very very best in all positions. Sure, you will hire competent people. But in an environment where there a 0,1% difference can make a or break something, it's competitive suicide
The opinion that Ferrari will never truly be dominant as long as they are full of Italians is very hard to not agree with. No disrespect to Italians but if you look at the big names in F1 in terms of the technical and engineering side, a lot of them or the majority come from Britain. Ferrari may need to be a bit more diverse in terms of their hierarchy as when Schumacher was there, you had Jean Todt and Ross Brawn at the helm and that ended in nothing but success. I don’t want to come across as offensive but I reckon if everyone took an IQ test in the F1 paddock from all the teams, I bet money on it that Ferrari has the lowest average out of all the teams. You can’t blame me for saying this based on the mistakes that they have been making for the past few years and especially last year. Something tells me that if Max was in that Ferrari last year he still would have won the drivers title. Max and Charles are very close in terms of ability on track but off track Max is very direct and assertive in the way he speaks. One of the reasons Max gets a lot of hate is because when Max is unhappy, the whole paddock knows about it as he creates this sort of tense atmosphere. I guess you could say Charles is too nice and Carlos in my opinion is more of a lead driver for Ferrari in terms of personality but in terms of Ability Charles is better in my opinion. Look at how Max reacted after he had to abort his quali lap in Singapore last year after his team made a mistake by under fuelling his car. If he gets that mad over one mistake imagine what he would have been like if he was in that Ferrari last year after all the mistakes they made as a team. In my opinion on raw one lap pace Charles is the fastest on the grid and he’s up there in race pace as well which just puts into perspective how much of a talent he his and it’s such a shame even as a Max fan how it’s being wasted. People that win F3 and F2 back to back should be taken seriously which is why George is also so good. All I know is whenever Charles gets a competitive car again with a good team around him and if he can iron out his tiny mistakes from last year, he’ll easily be a world champion.
I don't think Ferrari are doing that bad. In the same way that there is just a massive pessimistic hype going along with Mercedes at the moment. It's a sport where 10 teams try to be the best and only one can be that. In the past we've most of the times had one team that is clearly the fastest. Sometimes only for one season like Brawn GP when they closed the loophole, sometimes for 9 years like Mercedes because of stable regulations with one team just having a headstart big enough to last. Ferrari has been in the fight for top spot for the better part of 20 years at least, 2019 being a real bad result, but apart from that, they weren't always that one team that got it right, but they were in the mix, they had it right enough. Same goes for Mercedes, you simply can't always keep winning, but in the mix isn't that bad.
It's a joke to think Leclerc or Sainz will accomplish what Alonso, Kimi and Seb couldn't. How Seb won 14 and gave Hamilton/Merc some real competition remains a miracle.
Ferrari just need to give Leclerc the Verstappen treatment, and they’ll win at least one WDC in the near future. Charles with everything tailor made for him will certainly deliver that.
I don't get this "Leclerc is the quickest over one lap" as it seems to be based solely on last year when the Ferrari was naturally quick over a lap Vs the RB. I don't think he's any quicker than Max is, or Ham at his best. Some of the quali laps those two did in '21 were mind-blowing
Leclerc can consider leaving Ferrari but the truth is who does he actually leave them to join? Stroll ain’t getting kicked, alonso won’t retire while he’s a good car, Max will never let him be a teammate and Lewis doesn’t want to leave till he has his 8th title. McLaren is the only one left and they’re in the same boat
Leclerc is quickly becoming Ricciardo. He beats Seb and there are millions of adoring fans but his career is going to turn out disappointing if he doesn’t change something. I think he’s more talented than Danny Ric and he’s got a bit more time on his side. The jury is still out.
no Charles Leclerc has adapted well to a variety of cars. He can drive bad cars well. He can race cars from a variety of regulation eras well. He's also one of the greatest qualifiers. Take it from a salty Sebastian Vettel fan who's pissed that he kicked him out of the team.
@@corpsecoder_nw6746 That’s why I said he is more talented than Danny Ric. I’m not reading too much into Seb’s final seasons with Ferrari. It’s an extremely toxic environment with so many political motivations going on in the background. I wish Charles a better luck than Seb. He’s going to need it to have a shot at becoming a champion.
We all need to watch very carefully what is going on here. Someone else mentioned it earlier but I think Leclerc will indeed leave Ferrari at end of 2024. I just can't see them getting anywhere near Red Bull in the next year. If Lewis Hamilton signs another year and stays at Mercedes until 2024, then retires or moves elsewhere.... it absolutely opens up the window for Charles. His contract is up at end of 2024 so potentially, I could see him jumping ship to Mercedes to replace Hamilton and team with Russell. By that time, the Mercedes should be the closest challenger to Red Bull again and he can be off to the races chasing down his first F1 World Championship in 2025/2026. I think this scenario is very plausible at this stage. I don't know if anyone else agrees but I can see it happening and he will have a great mentor in Toto fully behind him. 👍
If Ferrari seems to not competing for world championship titles seriously, then FIA should make some new rules that would "force" Ferrari to do so every year. Those include: 1. Ferrari has to build a new HQ in the UK 2. If Ferrari had committed 3 strategic errors and/or 3 engine failures, then they will automatically be disqualified from WCC 3. Ferrari's personnel should try to accept constructive criticism, or else they will be banned from F1 for 2 years. And once every month, FIA will send their men to observe Ferrari's work environment. 4. Ferrari has to win either World Championship or else their revenue will be cut down significantly (Literally every year is make or break for them) Why did I say so? Because they have never been absent since 1950 and they have to do the best practice every time.
People also forget Osamu Goto left Honda after their 6 yr engine manufacturer championship run and went to Ferrari. Several Honda engine employees went to Ferrari. Don't believe that would ever happen now under their current regime.
I think it’s just a bit odd you’re talking’s about Leclerc like he came in at a super young age when? He didn’t? Not enough to skew a curve. Alonso was 20? Hamilton was 22? Leclerc debuted at 20? He’s only been on the grid for 5 years. What were these guys and Verstappen like with 5 years of experience? I think Hamilton and Alonso were winning WDCs by then, but Verstappen wasn’t. Idk how much of that is machinery because I don’t have your expertise. My point is I think people are misplacing him age wise. I mean, the drivers think he’s older than Verstappen and closer to Sainz’s age if you look closely at the grill the grid episode. (On another note, I have doubts he will leave Ferrari before he wins one WDC with them. He hasn’t talked about Bianchi in awhile, but his habit of shouldering the dead suggests he will try to die trying with Ferrari. And it might be a translation glitch, but in a recent interview he says his goal is to firstly win a WDC with Ferrari. Which might indicate he’s ready to get out once he’s “paid his respects”.)
This is his 5th season with Ferrari, and still not having a team and/or car that can fight for the title through the year is disappointing. I'm sure they are capable of beating AM and Merc this season but at the end of the day who cares about 2nd place
All Charles, Lewis and Fernando had a competitive car at the age of 22. Fernando debuted at 20, Charles at 21, Lewis at 22, so the age thing is nonsense
Unfortunately he has nowhere else to go. His only true option would be Mercedes and that is also dependent on Lewis retiring and Merc wanting to pair two young drivers.
there's no team (big 4) that needs leclerc unless red bull want to trade him w checo or mclaren wants to fire oscar piastri. or if lewis suddenly wants to leave f1. or else leclerc has to do the best he can with what he currently has
Only reason Russell isn't considered the best over 1 lap is the horde of Hamilton fans who downplay everything he does. Charles is good over 1 lap but Russell is as good if not better.
The arguments for diversity at Ferrari are pure racism. No one would ever argue that Aston or McLaren should add a particular race of employee to improve performance. Shame on you.
That's a bit overdramatic no? In Bahrain Ferrari was second fastest which was disappointing but not that much worse than the end of 2022, then saudi the performance was a bit meh and in Australia the car was doing decent as well but Charles did take himself out.
Leclerc should start considering a move similar to what Hamilton did leaving Mclaren and going to a new born Mercedes. Mclaren where just going downhill after that title win in 08' and Lewis just didn't see a positive future for the team.
“Charles needs to leave” yeah okay mate, WHERE? Unless he’s going Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas or Red Bull how is anywhere he goes, an upgrade? Aston is a long term project and they won’t let Lance or Alonso go. The politics and drama has always been around Scuderia Ferrari but they have occasionally managed to overcome this. This is why there is no harder team to win the championship with. Seriously. Winning with Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas and Red Bull is a piece of cake by comparison. This is why Michael Schumacher is the GOAT and why other winners with Scuderia Ferrari are generally unrated.
My problem is where does he go redbull probably wont want someone that can challange max. Merc failing this season shows that they are not guaranteed winners. Aston are on a upward trajectory but their ceiling is a big unknown. Unless some team that look like they can challange redbull becomes available he should just roll the dice with ferrari
If Ferrari don't get their ass in gear soon he's out the door. I can forgive Fred this year as he came in to stamp out a still burning fire but by the end of this year management MUST be good. Otherwise I can see Leclerc going to Mercedes to replace a retiring Hamilton.
No top team has a spot for him and he is hardly blame free for his problems. Going into the gravel last race was 100% his fault and nothing to do with the car he was in. Unless he and Lewis trade teams at the end of the season there is no where Charles can go that would give him a car and team who can win.
I dont agree, i think ferarri will improve , most of their issues isnt a bad car platform but a rusty organisation, behind yes but they arnt all over the place
The one thing that never goes away with me is the idea of sport and nationalities in teams. Whether it's F1/Motorsport, or something like Football and even things like Eurovision. If you're gong to label yourself as for example, a 'British team', then my mind goes to 'Two British drivers, a British TP, everyone important is British and located in England.. That's a British team... So the idea of saying Ferrari needs to remove it's Italian to become better, then it's not an Italian team anymore, it's just a team. Once we start calling them just a team, then we have to question what even is Ferrari? Because if it's not an Italian team, then it's just a team called Ferrari and soon it all starts to become a bit meaningless. Honestly this subject has always bewildered me.
Literally what I've been saying for years...They need to bring in a whole new regime and I mean clean house as unfortunate as that is but this whole era of "It's Ferrari" is gone..when's the last time they e won drivers or constructors? I'll wait....the whole omg it's Ferrari aura is gone, you are now they at best 3rd or 4th best team each year and that's being generous and only as of the last 2yrs..to many ppl working within that team that are Awe struck of omg this is Ferrari though the Red Nationale no no your working for a F1 team that is yes ahead of the midfield but not cracking into that top 2 to 3 teams and be treated as such until you earn status back, I feel like Merc should have this "Aura" around them of omg it's Merc but they don't ..it's business as usual all pulling in one direction for a goal. Change the culture at Ferrari and things will change but until there is a COMPLETE culture shift it will be much of the same..Leclarc needs to hold off resigning that contract and I hope he does but I do t see it he will stay it's not only his dream but Jules and he will see it through until he's lost his prime and became a sum of the parts at Ferrari and it's unfortunate because right now Max and Charles are the most gifted drivers on the grid right now period, Lando has a natural ability but apples to apples as in you put Charles and Max in an equal car and we would get one hell of a battle and honestly one I could see Leclarc winning..his one lap pace is better meaning he will start higher up the grid more often then not, his race pace is atleast equal to max..I give max the edge though on race craft without question
It’s a shame when Ferrari has a driver who could have thrilling battles with Max for wins, but Ferrari lets him down again and again. They need a trio of non Italians like they had during the Schumacher era
Ferrari will never win another championship for they are cursed after what they did to Kimi Räikkönen in 08 and the only person who can break the curse is Robin Räikkönen
Charles is not going to RB or Mercedes at All George and Max would Mop the Floor with him and I doubt RB wants to get rid of Perez Not to mention LH still has a few seasons left i believe So no

You just know the moment Charles leaves, Ferrari will become dominant, given his luck.
He is the new Jean Alesi after all lol
No, that would mean Ferrari would need to be more competent. They may improve for a little while, but until they change their culture they’ll never be dominant. It was the same with Alonso they gave cars that were almost good enough, but at some point they just shoot themselves in the foot.
It’s just part of who they are right now, and they need to change.
Charles leaves Ferrari for Mercedes. Hamilton swaps with Leclerc. Ferrari then nails the 2026 reg. Ferrari wins 😂😂😂 10% chamce will happen
What if, Charles leaves but George Russell comes into ferrari ? Knowing George's luck
Ferrari needs to simplify things.
I can actually see this happening sooner rather than later, because right now Leclerc could well be wasting his prime years in a team that's is not capable of winning championships.

Not sure when, if ever, Ferrari will realize that their only success period in the recent past came when they kept the Italians out key decisions in the team. Todt, Brawn, and Rory Byrne were key figures in Ferrari's successes in the 2000s and no prizes for guessing what's common between the three of them. To be fair though, Domenicali didn't do a horrible job but apart from the 2008 constructor's title, most of that was Alonso bringing performance out of cars that didn't have much to give.
i don''t think this was the main the problem , nationality is not a factor which determine if you have good people or not , the problem is : does Ferrari have talented people inside the team? answer: no now John Elkann ( Not the most italian) gave ok to Vasseur to bring many engineers from other teams
It's not so much about Italians running or not running the team, it's about competency. If you have all the money in the world, and are serious about competing in F1, fire your quite obviously sub par race engineers and strategists who've screwed up so many of your races. Stop firing team principles every 2-3 seasons
If anyone is familiar with the Montreal Canadiens hockey team, Ferrari is just like that. That team is the most successful team in terms of hardware, but hasn't won a single championship since 1993. What's in common? One requires players to speak french, the other requires crew to be italian.

Just like competent people/engineers that is italian is a strict subset of competent people/engineer in the world. By requiring your player to speak french/employee being italian, you automatically limit what you can get. If you can't understand this simple concept, you yourself are simply stupid.
@@HibiTeamQueso you're forcing players from Scandinavia/Americas/Southern Europe to learn French just to be a part of the team. Thats dumb and something that can and has hindered the team.
@@HibiTeamQueso There is no problem with French. The problem lies in the fact that keeping such a rule means that those who don't speak french will simply not join the team, meaning that the team loses out on some really great players all because they don't speak french.
@@SadMarinersFan what do you think happens on football (soccer) when you go to a team from a different country?
Also forcing english is not very different. Not everyone speaks english even tho americans think so
Needs to enter his villain era or he'll never win a championship with Ferrari
This means nothing. What does villain era mean.. what does it involve and how does it help him win with Ferrari..
He already wants to leave.
He's scoped the situation. He knows they are not competent enough to mount a serious sustained championship effort.
Charles would be better off in a midfield team heading in the right direction, then maybe switch back to a top team when the opportunity arrives. That would be far less frustrating
Your comment would be like the Ricciardo situation lol
@quocanh phanho Not really, Daniel left a competent team.
@@wayne1da121 Competetent, but toxic as hell if it came down to 1st/2nd drivers. That's the main difference with Ferrari: more indecisiveness about that topic, but less successful application of the ingredients to get the job done.
“Charles should leave”, “Lando should leave”,…. We will probably have a lot of videos like this before it actually happens. I am sure they would love to, but there are no spots available in the short term. Hamilton wants to continu, Alonso will continu as long as he has a great car, Stroll will not fire Stroll. Checo has another contract year, though if he keeps moaning at the team like he has recently they might dump him and then that as the only top seat that becomes available in the short term. I can maybe see Lando going there because he is Max’ buddy and he might see him as not the bigges5 threat. But there is no way he would want Charles in that seat.
Charles-Max at RB would be fire tho
"Stroll will not fire Stroll" LMAO
Yeah man you pretty much hit the nail on the head. He can't leave because he's got nowhere to go, at least if he wants to be able to race at the front.
I’ve been a Ferrari fan all my life, and I’ve been a big Leclerc fan since GP3. Yet I’d still support him leaving the team as I was fine with Fernando leaving as a big Nando fan. Ferrari is in shambles and I don’t want Leclerc to be the next Jean Alesi.
From 1980 through 1999 Ferrari had 3 WCC and Zero WDC… From 2005 til today they’ve had 1 WDC and 2 WCC..So the 20 years before 2000 where mostly Meh and the 18 years after 2004 have been pretty hit and miss…But hey Ferrari fans you’ll always have 2000-2004 to beat your chest to
Very pleased to see Scott Mitchell-Malm as your guest. It says a lot for you in your journey to being a solid F1 reporter/commentator that he was happy to talk turkey with you. Deserved. As for Charles I said earlier that he should let this year play out for 2/3rds and then think / plan things through. Do his very best and then it’s up to others to want him. Don’t get too hyper at all and definitely not too soon. Your best is as good as anyone’s.
Assuming Red bull will take the chanpionship this year, the last 14 seasons will all have been won by Red Bull or Mercedes (15 if you want to count Brawn in 2009 since they became Mercedes). The way I see it you need to be in one of those teams to win a championship at the moment. That may change, Ferrari may get their act together, and Aston may continue their rise but at the moment those are the teams to beat.
Ferrari is very close last year, that 3 dnf in a season is literally bullshit lmao. Like what the fuck are they doing 😂
@@forgetit__ Can't be doing that if you want to win a championship
If Hamilton or Alonso retires, I'd love to see him on either one of those teams
imagine the craziness that would ensue if Charles Leaves Ferrari and Goes to AMG and Lewis goes to Ferrari and it's lewis who turns Ferrari around somehow😅
ain't gonna happen
If Ferrari had left Stefano Domenicali in place all these years they would be on top, instead they insist on changes every few years that only set them back over and over again
Dominecali wasn't that great....
We know that ferrari is a bad team because Lawrence Stroll did not steal any of their staff.
Lol
McLaren did
Not going to lie, the beginning comment you had about Ferrari is a sentiment I thought about for awhile. Unless you are a driver that can galvanize a team together and bring high level people into the team like Schumacher and Lauda. Ferrari hasn’t really accomplished that much after the mid 60s. In a way it adds more to your name because you had to do more on and off the track to get that done. You almost have to manhandle that team like a mad dog tbh but hey that’s what makes it a challenge.

@@jasonhenry9440 It will be very tough to decide, I'm glad that there is Aston Martin now, cause without it he and Norris would eat shit easily, the war would start at Mercedes to choose and pick 1 of them, and there's also Schumacher in the middle of the road when Hamilton retires, and nobody will accept to go to RB with Max and his Dad preventing anybody from challenging them

Charles to AM after Alonso would be potent.
Another point about early 2000´s Ferrari dominance, Bridgestone played a big role in that. Ferrari was Bridgestones number one team while Michelin had multiple teams (Mclaren, Williams, Renault) which got equal treatment, tyres.
The tire war is often overlooked. Bridgestone was at the least a factor in Ferraris dominance.
Totally agree .. the Italian thing doesn’t work in 2923
Bring in others besides Italians and they will go forward
I think it’s often forgotten or overlooked that James Allison initially went to Ferrari from Lotus in 2013/14, which should have spearheaded a new, more “international” Ferrari team. The 2015 Ferrari was quite good but if I recall Allison had to leave Ferrari for personal reasons in 2016 (with the also good 2017 car in development) which left them back at square one once Allison’s effect began to fade by mid 2018.
Which team potentially has a room for Leclerc though.......
Certainly not Mercedes, even if Hamilton retires Mick is still on the sidelines, even if Mick is not as good as Leclerc but there's always a stronger connection with the team
Red Bull doesn't seem like an option to me as long as Max is there. I mean, why would Red Bull even want Leclerc when they have Max
Aston Martin I doubt it. Stroll isn't leaving anytime soon, neither is Fernando I mean as long as guy can drive at a somewhat high level Aston is not giving him up; and Alonso dropping off is def not happening in just 2 years
All the other teams could make a step-up but like what is the probability? Tbh Ferrari is still better than Mclaren and Alpine and going to a lower achieving team is even greater risk when compared to staying at Ferrari.
So Leclerc certainly wants a race winning team, but who can offer him the chance? -- No one......
Unfortunately all the teams are struggling. Mercedes and Aston Martin are the only ones who have shown any improvement , with the engines getting development back in 2026 it’s not worth leaving yet.
Great work Aldas, Love this relaxed recording with Scott-the boss-M-M
Leclerc is like Kimi Raikkonnen from his McLaren days. Absolutely fast and and magical over one lap, but hindered in races by bad reliability.
He makes more mistakes than Kimi did at that stage of his career.
I mean where is he gonna go...
RB Or Mercedes.. No thanks Verstappen and Russell will Mop the Floor with Charles. Plus I doubt RB wants to get Rid of Perez and LH Still has a few seasons left.
Mclaren: Nah... They aren't even able to built a competitive car for Lando..
AM: Alonso still has a few seasons left. So idk where is he gonna go
Okay, so hear me out on this one. If Aston progress to the point where they're fighting for titles and the limiting factor becomes Lance, not the car. Lawrence Stroll (a Businessman) will then have to decide whether keeping his son in a seat is more important than the sucess of his business. Could there then be an opening at Aston for a driver like Charles or Lando?
It seems to me that Carlos is more hungry this season than leclerc. Carlos has been always consistently hungry even when he was not in a good car. Of course the peak of leclerc is higher than Carlos but Carlos has got the hunger that max has.
can you explain how on earth you claim that carlos is more hungrier than leclerc? from the data it is not true in the slightest, all the time leclerc in interviews are always talking about wanting to fight for wins and what it will be to fight redbull, meanwhile sainz in every interview is just talking about aston martin and mercedes not even talking about redbull and wanting to win. and if youve watched the season you will see a p3 before dnf a p7 on a engine penalty and a p7 caused by a ferrari screwup, and a racing incident which granted was an ambitious move by leclerc which caused it. but nowhere is there any evidence carlos is hungrier than charles lol
For reference, Max had came from being known as that guy who was known for constantly crashing through his aggression against others to know being considered the current best. He only did this because RedBull kept improving year after year where as Ferrari takes a step forward that then take 10 steps backwards.
Where can Charles go? Hammy will probably stick around for a few more years and George is the heir apparent. RB wont want him along side max, Aston if they stay strong has a permanent Alonso and an even more permanent Stroll. McL have their young guns, alpine is locked up for years, and Audi wont be here until Charles is middle aged..
I expect they’re are now as many RB and Merc fans in total in Italy now, as Ferrari fans..
Yes, I mean this makes me so sad..For me Sergio has been my driver for the last 12 years..but my team, since my dad took me to my first GP back in 1986 or so has always been Ferrari. I dreamed of owning a Ferrari all my life because of F1 (thankfully i am fortunate enough to have met that goal and i DO own one). I was super excited when Charles Joined Ferrari (He is my #2 driver all day every day). We all know Charles is most certainly good enough to be a world champion. I was certain that by now he would be with Ferrari! uggggh i don't know WTF is going on with the car! It is so aggravating. Yea, at some point he is going to have to move on, but where? That's the problem, i don't want him to get relegated to the midfield and never get the chance to win a season...then again, not like SF is doing him any favors there anyway. I'm gutted here.
It's a cultural issue. In italian culture, it's common to look for someone to blame, rather than admitting the errors, and trying to understand the source.
But is not only internal, is also external, they were pointing to binotto and demanding his head, no patience, and no way to accept errors to understand them.
Italian culture is very political, is about not admiting mistakes and find someone to blame. They can not move forward until they learn from their mistakes
Italian mafia were more organized than Ferrari ever been. Ferrari doesnt know what makes an F1 team and theyre still getting paid millions of dollars because they compete. Its high time everyone treated Ferrari for what they are, a midfield team. That will make them open their eyes, people should stop worshipping ferrari.
No, he needs to pull his aggression back 2% on track and drive within the limits of the car and track. Look to his teammate, its NOT a problem with the car, its with his driving. Nevermind Ferrari not being in top form at the moment, when the driver cant even finish races consistently while his team mate can. They *could* take 2nd in the championship but not with their lead driver making so many mistakes. Even if he went to another team, he'd still make the same mistakes.
Ferrari is back into 1979-2000 Era (until Schumi - Brawn - Todt break their cursed)
Is Leclerc another Jean Alesi, french speaking driver touted as the next big thing but joins Ferrari after a failed title attempt and during a tumultuous reconstruction period
The issue about hiring only italians isn't that Italy doesn't have competent people. But it's with every other quota. By having that quote you don't hire the very very best in all positions. Sure, you will hire competent people. But in an environment where there a 0,1% difference can make a or break something, it's competitive suicide
Finally a good view about ferrari!
And where do you imagine that Leclerc would go? Alpha Tauri or maybe Renault are the only choices I can truly see.
The opinion that Ferrari will never truly be dominant as long as they are full of Italians is very hard to not agree with. No disrespect to Italians but if you look at the big names in F1 in terms of the technical and engineering side, a lot of them or the majority come from Britain. Ferrari may need to be a bit more diverse in terms of their hierarchy as when Schumacher was there, you had Jean Todt and Ross Brawn at the helm and that ended in nothing but success. I don’t want to come across as offensive but I reckon if everyone took an IQ test in the F1 paddock from all the teams, I bet money on it that Ferrari has the lowest average out of all the teams. You can’t blame me for saying this based on the mistakes that they have been making for the past few years and especially last year. Something tells me that if Max was in that Ferrari last year he still would have won the drivers title. Max and Charles are very close in terms of ability on track but off track Max is very direct and assertive in the way he speaks. One of the reasons Max gets a lot of hate is because when Max is unhappy, the whole paddock knows about it as he creates this sort of tense atmosphere. I guess you could say Charles is too nice and Carlos in my opinion is more of a lead driver for Ferrari in terms of personality but in terms of Ability Charles is better in my opinion. Look at how Max reacted after he had to abort his quali lap in Singapore last year after his team made a mistake by under fuelling his car. If he gets that mad over one mistake imagine what he would have been like if he was in that Ferrari last year after all the mistakes they made as a team. In my opinion on raw one lap pace Charles is the fastest on the grid and he’s up there in race pace as well which just puts into perspective how much of a talent he his and it’s such a shame even as a Max fan how it’s being wasted. People that win F3 and F2 back to back should be taken seriously which is why George is also so good. All I know is whenever Charles gets a competitive car again with a good team around him and if he can iron out his tiny mistakes from last year, he’ll easily be a world champion.
I don't think Ferrari are doing that bad. In the same way that there is just a massive pessimistic hype going along with Mercedes at the moment. It's a sport where 10 teams try to be the best and only one can be that. In the past we've most of the times had one team that is clearly the fastest. Sometimes only for one season like Brawn GP when they closed the loophole, sometimes for 9 years like Mercedes because of stable regulations with one team just having a headstart big enough to last. Ferrari has been in the fight for top spot for the better part of 20 years at least, 2019 being a real bad result, but apart from that, they weren't always that one team that got it right, but they were in the mix, they had it right enough. Same goes for Mercedes, you simply can't always keep winning, but in the mix isn't that bad.
thats because fia pay them 100 million genius and they still bottle it with their budget
@@sadikurrahman4833 Yes they get money, but budget cap. It's the manufacturer that is earning from their F1 team, not the team benefitting.
It's a joke to think Leclerc or Sainz will accomplish what Alonso, Kimi and Seb couldn't. How Seb won 14 and gave Hamilton/Merc some real competition remains a miracle.
A few weeks ago, you had so many people saying that Lewis Hamilton was moving to Ferrari, and the deal was already signed.
Ferrari just need to give Leclerc the Verstappen treatment, and they’ll win at least one WDC in the near future. Charles with everything tailor made for him will certainly deliver that.
I don't get this "Leclerc is the quickest over one lap" as it seems to be based solely on last year when the Ferrari was naturally quick over a lap Vs the RB. I don't think he's any quicker than Max is, or Ham at his best. Some of the quali laps those two did in '21 were mind-blowing
Leclerc can consider leaving Ferrari but the truth is who does he actually leave them to join? Stroll ain’t getting kicked, alonso won’t retire while he’s a good car, Max will never let him be a teammate and Lewis doesn’t want to leave till he has his 8th title. McLaren is the only one left and they’re in the same boat
Charles is the new kimi, he is probably the fastest man on the grid, but his cars, and luck are just so kuch against him
I’d say with Fred as team principal they can have a chance cause he knows and respects Leclerc so it would be better
Leclerc is quickly becoming Ricciardo. He beats Seb and there are millions of adoring fans but his career is going to turn out disappointing if he doesn’t change something. I think he’s more talented than Danny Ric and he’s got a bit more time on his side. The jury is still out.
no Charles Leclerc has adapted well to a variety of cars. He can drive bad cars well. He can race cars from a variety of regulation eras well. He's also one of the greatest qualifiers. Take it from a salty Sebastian Vettel fan who's pissed that he kicked him out of the team.
@@corpsecoder_nw6746 That’s why I said he is more talented than Danny Ric. I’m not reading too much into Seb’s final seasons with Ferrari. It’s an extremely toxic environment with so many political motivations going on in the background. I wish Charles a better luck than Seb. He’s going to need it to have a shot at becoming a champion.
We all need to watch very carefully what is going on here. Someone else mentioned it earlier but I think Leclerc will indeed leave Ferrari at end of 2024. I just can't see them getting anywhere near Red Bull in the next year. If Lewis Hamilton signs another year and stays at Mercedes until 2024, then retires or moves elsewhere.... it absolutely opens up the window for Charles. His contract is up at end of 2024 so potentially, I could see him jumping ship to Mercedes to replace Hamilton and team with Russell. By that time, the Mercedes should be the closest challenger to Red Bull again and he can be off to the races chasing down his first F1 World Championship in 2025/2026. I think this scenario is very plausible at this stage. I don't know if anyone else agrees but I can see it happening and he will have a great mentor in Toto fully behind him. 👍
The main question is there any spot available for him? Merc? RB? AM? seems like impossible move!
If Ferrari seems to not competing for world championship titles seriously, then FIA should make some new rules that would "force" Ferrari to do so every year.
Those include:
1. Ferrari has to build a new HQ in the UK
2. If Ferrari had committed 3 strategic errors and/or 3 engine failures, then they will automatically be disqualified from WCC
3. Ferrari's personnel should try to accept constructive criticism, or else they will be banned from F1 for 2 years. And once every month, FIA will send their men to observe Ferrari's work environment.
4. Ferrari has to win either World Championship or else their revenue will be cut down significantly (Literally every year is make or break for them)
Why did I say so? Because they have never been absent since 1950 and they have to do the best practice every time.
I feel like the point you made at the start could be said for so many legacy teams lmao, not limited to Ferrari at all.
Mclaren, Williams, .
People also forget Osamu Goto left Honda after their 6 yr engine manufacturer championship run and went to Ferrari. Several Honda engine employees went to Ferrari. Don't believe that would ever happen now under their current regime.
I think it’s just a bit odd you’re talking’s about Leclerc like he came in at a super young age when? He didn’t? Not enough to skew a curve. Alonso was 20? Hamilton was 22? Leclerc debuted at 20? He’s only been on the grid for 5 years. What were these guys and Verstappen like with 5 years of experience? I think Hamilton and Alonso were winning WDCs by then, but Verstappen wasn’t. Idk how much of that is machinery because I don’t have your expertise. My point is I think people are misplacing him age wise. I mean, the drivers think he’s older than Verstappen and closer to Sainz’s age if you look closely at the grill the grid episode. (On another note, I have doubts he will leave Ferrari before he wins one WDC with them. He hasn’t talked about Bianchi in awhile, but his habit of shouldering the dead suggests he will try to die trying with Ferrari. And it might be a translation glitch, but in a recent interview he says his goal is to firstly win a WDC with Ferrari. Which might indicate he’s ready to get out once he’s “paid his respects”.)
A couple of races with Charles having bad luck doesn't make a season. Ferrari are no RB but they are well capable of beating Merc and AM.
This is his 5th season with Ferrari, and still not having a team and/or car that can fight for the title through the year is disappointing. I'm sure they are capable of beating AM and Merc this season but at the end of the day who cares about 2nd place
All Charles, Lewis and Fernando had a competitive car at the age of 22. Fernando debuted at 20, Charles at 21, Lewis at 22, so the age thing is nonsense
If Hamilton and Verstappen joined as drivers tomorrow, it still wouldn’t help. It’s the organisation that needs changing, not the drivers.
Ferrari just had a good car setup for quali doesnt mean leclerc is the best over 1 lap
Unfortunately he has nowhere else to go. His only true option would be Mercedes and that is also dependent on Lewis retiring and Merc wanting to pair two young drivers.
Who do Ferrari sign if Leclerc leaves Ferrari that’s a really curious question. I can see leclerc going Mercedes , Aston Martin is ridiculous
Next decade is our decade bois
there's no team (big 4) that needs leclerc unless red bull want to trade him w checo or mclaren wants to fire oscar piastri. or if lewis suddenly wants to leave f1. or else leclerc has to do the best he can with what he currently has
Only reason Russell isn't considered the best over 1 lap is the horde of Hamilton fans who downplay everything he does. Charles is good over 1 lap but Russell is as good if not better.
@@gameofender4463 no
@@gameofender4463 Nope, racepace wise Lewis still holds an edge
The arguments for diversity at Ferrari are pure racism. No one would ever argue that Aston or McLaren should add a particular race of employee to improve performance. Shame on you.
That's a bit overdramatic no? In Bahrain Ferrari was second fastest which was disappointing but not that much worse than the end of 2022, then saudi the performance was a bit meh and in Australia the car was doing decent as well but Charles did take himself out.
I understand what you‘re trying to say. But where does he go from Ferrari? Neither Mercedes nor RB seem to be looking for a new #1 driver
Vigna, as long as he still remain as Ferrari's CEO, they won't change..
Leclerc should start considering a move similar to what Hamilton did leaving Mclaren and going to a new born Mercedes. Mclaren where just going downhill after that title win in 08' and Lewis just didn't see a positive future for the team.
Have you forgotten? Kimi Raikkonen is the last Ferrari champion lol. He gets zero mention
I remember Will Buxton saying that you go to Ferrari to end your career.
I haven't started watching yet, but I have a hard time believing you could fit all those reasons into 11 minutes.
“Charles needs to leave” yeah okay mate, WHERE? Unless he’s going Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas or Red Bull how is anywhere he goes, an upgrade? Aston is a long term project and they won’t let Lance or Alonso go.
The politics and drama has always been around Scuderia Ferrari but they have occasionally managed to overcome this. This is why there is no harder team to win the championship with.
Seriously. Winning with Mercedes Benz AMG Petronas and Red Bull is a piece of cake by comparison.
This is why Michael Schumacher is the GOAT and why other winners with Scuderia Ferrari are generally unrated.
Oliver Bearman will have his seat.
My problem is where does he go redbull probably wont want someone that can challange max. Merc failing this season shows that they are not guaranteed winners. Aston are on a upward trajectory but their ceiling is a big unknown. Unless some team that look like they can challange redbull becomes available he should just roll the dice with ferrari
There is nowhere to go. Nowhere at all for the moment.
If Ferrari don't get their ass in gear soon he's out the door. I can forgive Fred this year as he came in to stamp out a still burning fire but by the end of this year management MUST be good. Otherwise I can see Leclerc going to Mercedes to replace a retiring Hamilton.
Where would you have him go? McLaren? Alpine? Where would he go??
Leclerc may be a great driver but hes not pushy enough MSC was and pushed them in to shape Russel could .......maybe a swap may suit both drivers
First legend aldas
No top team has a spot for him and he is hardly blame free for his problems. Going into the gravel last race was 100% his fault and nothing to do with the car he was in. Unless he and Lewis trade teams at the end of the season there is no where Charles can go that would give him a car and team who can win.
I dont agree, i think ferarri will improve , most of their issues isnt a bad car platform but a rusty organisation, behind yes but they arnt all over the place
The next update on this topic has to be titled "mate"
We want a Max/Leclerc fight at Red Bull! Don't we?
The one thing that never goes away with me is the idea of sport and nationalities in teams.
Whether it's F1/Motorsport, or something like Football and even things like Eurovision.
If you're gong to label yourself as for example, a 'British team', then my mind goes to 'Two British drivers, a British TP, everyone important is British and located in England.. That's a British team...
So the idea of saying Ferrari needs to remove it's Italian to become better, then it's not an Italian team anymore, it's just a team. Once we start calling them just a team, then we have to question what even is Ferrari? Because if it's not an Italian team, then it's just a team called Ferrari and soon it all starts to become a bit meaningless. Honestly this subject has always bewildered me.
in the start bro really said "if we take all ferrari championships in the past, ferrari would be a mediocre team"
Literally what I've been saying for years...They need to bring in a whole new regime and I mean clean house as unfortunate as that is but this whole era of "It's Ferrari" is gone..when's the last time they e won drivers or constructors? I'll wait....the whole omg it's Ferrari aura is gone, you are now they at best 3rd or 4th best team each year and that's being generous and only as of the last 2yrs..to many ppl working within that team that are Awe struck of omg this is Ferrari though the Red Nationale no no your working for a F1 team that is yes ahead of the midfield but not cracking into that top 2 to 3 teams and be treated as such until you earn status back, I feel like Merc should have this "Aura" around them of omg it's Merc but they don't ..it's business as usual all pulling in one direction for a goal. Change the culture at Ferrari and things will change but until there is a COMPLETE culture shift it will be much of the same..Leclarc needs to hold off resigning that contract and I hope he does but I do t see it he will stay it's not only his dream but Jules and he will see it through until he's lost his prime and became a sum of the parts at Ferrari and it's unfortunate because right now Max and Charles are the most gifted drivers on the grid right now period, Lando has a natural ability but apples to apples as in you put Charles and Max in an equal car and we would get one hell of a battle and honestly one I could see Leclarc winning..his one lap pace is better meaning he will start higher up the grid more often then not, his race pace is atleast equal to max..I give max the edge though on race craft without question
Could Mercedes and Ferrari do a driver trade, Lewis for Leclerc?
It’s a shame when Ferrari has a driver who could have thrilling battles with Max for wins, but Ferrari lets him down again and again. They need a trio of non Italians like they had during the Schumacher era
Ricciardo would be better off going to Ferrari, than back to RB - assuming that is his goal.
I can see him leaving if we get any worse than we are now.
F1 video games affected Charles real world racing
I seriously believe Charles will be joining AM post Alonso.
Ferrari will never win another championship for they are cursed after what they did to Kimi Räikkönen in 08 and the only person who can break the curse is Robin Räikkönen
i feel like u control the drivers
I think his best chances are these two: Go to Mercedes when Hamilton leaves, or go to Red Bull when Verstappen does (which he inevitably will).
Or Aston Martin when Alonso retires, if this keeps up.
