The slander is directed at *you*, by the way. Not at Max. He crashed, shit happens. The point is rather that it happens to everyone, and not every crash is created equal. Some drivers just want more.
P2 (P1) WHERE ARE YOU?????
« He’s not well mentally, he’s finished, psychologically he’s finished. » 😁
The points are tomorrow, COME ON CHARLES

The “mistakes Charles keep making non stop” are:
- A brake failure from P3
- A hydraulic failure from P5, preventing him from getting up to P4
Do NOT let these fools spin their narratives and warp the truth. The difference between the two is reliability. Simple as
Rotten luck for Leclerc with a hydraulic failure with a handful of laps to go in what will be another pointless race. Also missed the VSC by half a lap to stay ahead of Verstappen. The wheel will turn, he will be back. Needs a desperate mental reset and a reevaluation of his approach in qualifying.
His pace was right up there in clean air for 2/3rds of the race, the two-stop strategy did not seem the way to go either. It's a long old season this one. Forza Charles.❤️
It really fucking is, these mistakes are so frustrating cause I KNOW he has the talent and shouldn’t be doing them, I’ll always stick by him but fuck me man….
some of the people reacting to this tweet are lacking interpretation skills... having no skid marks doesn't mean he didn't brake or that he crashed due to "skill issue". in his particular case, it's more of a sign that he was right and his brakes didn't work.
he literally explained the situation: his brakes were ass during the race, but with consistent laps they worked. once the safety car came out, his brakes cooled down and 3 of the 4 stopped working. he has data backing him and he has his team principal and deputy tp backing him. and believe me, ferrari would be the last team to cover for him if it was a mistake of his, they would throw him under the bus (and charles would be first to blame himself).
if you cannot understand what having no skid marks, in his case, means, then you're just lacking interpretation 💀
Charles : « Ce n’est pas que je n’ai pas le contrôle, c’est que c’est impossible d’avoir le contrôle, les freins sont on/off et ça a été mon problème depuis les deux dernières courses. Encore une fois, on a une solution et Lewis est allé dans cette direction il y a 3-4 courses. C’était juste inconduisible pour moi aujourd’hui. »
« Le pit ? Je voulais rester dehors, les pneus étaient plutôt bien, et surtout je n’avais pas envie de me faire pénaliser en attendant derrière Lewis car on n’a pas le droit de ralentir dans la pit lane, la FIA nous l’a dit avant la course. J’ai dû ralentir, mais ce n’est qu’un détail comparé à l’enfer que j’ai passé aussi bien à Montréal qu’ici, ça va changer pour Barcelone, j’espère retrouver le feeling avec la voiture. Extrêmement frustré. Extrêmement énervé. Extrêmement triste car c’est la maison. Mais ce n’est pas de l’énervement contre moi aujourd’hui et je suis… c’est difficile. »

❤️🩹 Charles Leclerc: “Right now, I don't have the words, I don't really feel like talking because I'm afraid of being a bit too harsh in what I'll say, but it's unacceptable, the brake issues I've had in Canada and here are just undrivable.”
“Today, I set 4/5 bars of brake pressure; it's barely touching the brakes. I can't go any lower than that, and the rear brakes didn't work at all. It's been like this for two weekends now.”
as much as it hurts i’ll always love his pole or wall mentality. you can’t claim to love Charles and criticize him for his mentality because it’s what makes him special.
he’ll bounce back as always ❤️🩹
Leclerc aşırıya kaçmadığı gün onu sevmeyi bırakırım. F2'de izlediğim ilk günden beri bu adamı diğerlerinden ayıran şey, yüksek riskle sürmesi. Eğer beklentiniz bu değilse ondan bir şey beklemenize ya da hayal kırıklığı yaşamanıza gerek yok demektir.
In 2023, many teams approached and spoke with Nicolas Todt about Charles’ future. These included Mercedes, Aston Martin, Alpine, and Red Bull. Mercedes was the team that wanted him the most, as Toto Wolff believed Charles was the best option to beat Max. In the end, Charles chose to continue pursuing his dream in red and signed a contract extension.
This year, at least 3 teams have discussed Charles’ future with Todt: MCLAREN, ASTON MARTIN, and RED BULL. But once again, Charles knows exactly what he wants, Ferrari is the only team that matters to him.
So please, stop with the claims that “no one wants Charles on their team” or that “he had no choice.”
In red until 2030 😁😍😮💨
P4 on the worst weekend of his career – with no confidence in the brakes & the car since FP1 – isn’t such a bad result. Well done, Charles. Next up: the home race!!!!!!!

The love declaration from Leo Turrini to Charles:
« Carletto, this guy has always thrilled me. From the day, back at Sauber, when he decided to stay out for one more lap in wet qualifying conditions, against the team’s orders. And he was right. I only wish he had done it again later on, and much more often…
Then came a series of flashes, of pure emotion. 2019 Belgian Grand Prix and 2019 Italian Grand Prix. It had been years since I’d felt emotions like that in F1 (except for Austin with Kimi Räikk��nen or “Raikon,” as my son called him but that was love). 53 laps on the edge of a heart attack, and this kid putting in soul, courage, risk, and madness just to stay in front.
The poles at Spa, Singapore, Monaco… the kind of moments where you can say, “I was there, I saw it,” because since the days of Ayrton Senna, you hadn’t seen anyone like this in qualifying.
Then the darkness: even the stupidest retirements, the bad luck, the pit wall management… the pain, and finally the joy in his Monaco, where today nobody drives like he does. And while you watched him grow, you also watched the years go by without ever having a car at his level, one that could allow him to fight for what he deserves, and allow us to enjoy a few more duels with Max Verstappen, because the few we got were all unforgettable.
So incredibly fast and talented on track. Always honest, self-critical even to excess, incapable of hiding his emotions. A Ferrari man through and through, even more of one than I am. And never once did he fail to give everything. Sometimes too much, it’s true, but that’s exactly how people come to love you.
I’m biased, I adored Nigel Mansell even though there was Senna. I make no claim to being right or objective. Some drivers just capture your heart, and that’s enough for me. Charles Leclerc captured mine. »
