oscar qualifies low because of the team’s mismanagement, races his pants off despite having to stay out late on wrong tyres twice and a 6.8s pit stop and gets stuck behind russell training for the ballet and stella’s verdict is “he took too long to overtake cars” riiiiiight
The dishonesty shown by certain people when claiming that Leclerc is not a team player is quite astonishing. You clearly have a short memory. Perhaps you need to be reminded of certain things that have happened within this team since 2019. Then we can talk.
- 2019:
🇦🇺 FIRST RACE with Ferrari, and he’s already given an order: Charles is not allowed to attack Seb. He follows the team orders.
🇨🇳 Charles is told to let Seb through just as he’s starting to find his pace. Charles follows the team orders.
🇸🇬 Ferrari simply decides to steal the win from Charles and hand it to Seb with an undercut. And even then, Charles says he won’t do anything and won’t attack Seb.
🇷🇺 The initial plan was for Charles (starting from pole) to give Seb (P3) a tow so he could get past Hamilton/Leclerc, and then for Seb to give the position back to Charles. Charles followed every single team order.
- 2022:
🇬🇧 Ferrari steals another win from him and hands it to his teammate, and yet Charles is still thinking about the team and Carlos in his radio after the race.
- 2023:
🇸🇬 Ferrari simply sacrifices Leclerc to benefit Carlos. And Charles deliberately makes a strategic decision that day to help Carlos win.
- 2024:
🇦🇺 Charles and Carlos are P1 and P2, both fighting for the win, when Ferrari gives Charles a team order. Charles follows it.
🇺🇸 All of a sudden, Charles starts experiencing a loss of tyre performance. Instead of defending his position, he tells the team over the radio that he’ll let Carlos through.
- 2025
🇺🇸 Ferrari gives Charles a team order to let Lewis through. Charles follows it.
🇦🇿 Another team order from Ferrari to let Lewis through. Charles follows it once again.
- 2026
🇪🇸 Even though Lewis has just pitted and the two drivers are on completely different strategies, Charles says over the radio that he’ll let Lewis through (for the win).
If you still have doubts about the kind of team player Charles is, then you’re the problem. Ever since he joined Ferrari, he has consistently put the team before himself. Yesterday, there simply were no team orders. Both drivers were free to race each other.

@sainzzleclerc Lulu fans are used to beta slaves like Bottas whose only purpose was to benefit Lulu. So any teammate that actually takes it to him and tries to compete is seen as a villain in their eyes. Leclerc is the better driver, why would he submit to a spoiled, entitled baby and his cult
What's happening at Ferrari with Hamilton is absolutely no surprise.
We've seen this before at McLaren with Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button, and again at Mercedes with Nico Rosberg and later George Russell. Things even got to the point where Toto Wolff involved the police over allegations of sabotage.
At some point, you have to wonder who the common denominator is when there have been so many issues involving teammates.
Perhaps there’s a reason Valtteri Bottas was considered his "best teammate." He wasn't a serious threat and followed team orders: "Valtteri, it’s James."
@maranellosun16 Hamilton took it personal in the media with all of his teammates who dared to challenge him yet his fans act like he’s a innocent victim the irony💀
Hamilton can’t differentiate racing and out of it but his fans think they can speak on how Charles is as a teammate, insane
"car 41 defended allowing racing room"
"car 81 should've left the track to avoid the collision"
so you admit there was no room?? is that what you're doing?? admitting it???
Monza, when Leclerc pushed Hamilton off track: “How DARE Leclerc defend against his teammate!”
Mexico, when Hamilton pushed Leclerc off track: “How DARE Leclerc try to overtake his teammate!”
Hilarious fanbase
This is factual and worth knowing and coming to terms with if we are going to understand the rise of far-right sentiment. We are in an asymmetrical propaganda assault on democracy. The Islamophobia, anti immigrant craze is part of a concerted campaign to divide democratic nations. Be aware.
ICE and Border Patrol protect Flávio Bolsonaro, using umbrellas to shield him from being photographed.
Trump’s government beats and shoots ordinary working-class people but gives special protection to international criminals tied to money laundering and human trafficking.
The lesson from Serbia is that when no party represents the people, you can build your own alternative even if it takes years of community assemblies, organizing and resistance to severe state repression.
Democracy and justice are fragile; it takes the utmost strength to keep them alive.
