If you think Charles won’t bounce back from these three terrible races, then you don’t know him well enough.
In 2022, he came back from the following sequence:
🇮🇹 Imola: Mistake.
🇪🇸 Spain: Dominating the race, but the turbo decided to give up.
🇲🇨 Monaco: He was P1, but Ferrari ruined his race.
🇦🇿 Azerbaijan: He was P1 but the engine decided to give up
🇨🇦 Canada: Took an engine penalty and started P19.
🇬🇧 Silverstone: He was P1 but Ferrari ruined his race.
Charles is mentally strong; he will bounce back from this. 100% sure‼️‼️‼️
Appreso del pacchetto Barcellona, avevo sentito una forte convinzione dal team con ottimi numeri in galleria. La consapevolezza poi che avendo ADUO si potesse spingere forte in vista del futuro. Aldilà della vittoria la SF-26 è stata al pari di Mercedes oggi.

Charles si era già lamentato che i freni anteriori non funzionassero bene nell'ultima tornata alla 14. Poi si è iniziato a sentire un rumore in curva 1 dopo quella frenata ed è arrivato lungo alla 2. Dice che poi ha perso il power steer e alla fine BBW file #BarcelonaGP
@Charles_Leclerc I will never stop supporting you mate! Chin up and focus on the next races. Call this a small blip and move on! Happens to all the best drivers. Don't beat yourself up and get stuck in this loop.
Forza Charles!

Steve Waugh later disowns the comment & said the line was something closer to "That's going to cost your team today, Hersch"

Another bit of information by the lovely gentlemen at @Auto_Racer_it
The issue with Charles in Monaco has been identified. They don't expect the issue to be made public.
Starting from Barcelona, Leclerc will go to Carbon Industries brake discs. Adaptation is required, and satisfaction is not guaranteed.
No updates were made to the brakes in Canada. Nothing has changed on that part of the SF-26.
Secondo @spontonc, Leclerc aveva spostato la ripartizione al posteriore per caricare la batteria prima della ripartenza. Arrivato al punto del crash a batteria carica, il brake-by-wire ha smesso di usare il posteriore spostando la frenata sull'anteriore, che si è così raffreddato
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 💀
🚨 | Arrivabene on Leclerc being pitted while Hamilton served his 5-second penalty:
“Looking at it from the outside and having done that job myself, the moment I saw this stuff here, I thought 'now Charles is going to get out of the car and throw the steering wheel away'.”
“He did well to keep his calm, then he made himself heard over the radio, but I would never have made a decision like that—it's just not done.”
Give Lewis a penalty for the next race for bringing such idiots on to the grid and into the paddock. There's a reason why she's banned from the Ferrari garage, and rightfully so.
