OK so I really need new Charles Leclerc 16 moots to crash out about with every week if you want to, hit me up please 😔🙏
I also like 33/81/87
Please, let's be moots
Its actually kinda insane how far ferrari let this shit go
I remember last year and the situation between Osc and Ln was very tense, but it's still wasn't on these level of animosity and disrespect and there was a real title fight
Do you feel like Leclerc fights harder against you than he does against the other drivers?
Lewis: « Yes. You can see what you can see. In Singapore, he was all the way on the inside at the start. He could have taken the lead there and won the race, but he backed out. That’s definitely different. But if you look at his previous teammates, the same applied to Sebastian and Carlos. »

You know what? I'm glad that he is not backtracking, at least we don't have to see it was in a heat of a moment and we respect eo thing
He very openly disrespecting Charles and doubling down on it
So we won't have to see anymore we are all friendly team narrative here
lewis on the challenge of competing against a driver who's been with ferrari for so long:
"he's been here a long time. he's at eight years. nine wins in the team. he's very much embedded within the team, and I knew that it would always be a challenge.
i've always respected that, and i've approached the team. i've really worked hard to build a good relationship with charles and bridge the gap and make sure that we're harmonious and we work hard together. always try to be respectful.
naturally, it's not so easy having someone like me come into a team because I'm very outspoken, and i push and push and push and push for so many changes."

@nad16cl Mayhaps its bc of russian language...? I've been blocked by some cl16 accounts, who i never interactred with and later found out was Ukraine based
Last tweet about Mexico/Charles/Lewis, and then I’ll move on São Paulo.
For the past 24/48 hours, I’ve been seeing some absolutely ridiculous takes. Some people are saying that Leclerc doesn’t think about the team, or that Leclerc is the one costing Ferrari points.
- A lot of people are outraged and shocked by Charles’ move on Lewis, and I can understand that. But why weren’t these same people outraged or shocked at Monza when Lewis attacked Charles into Turn 1, despite the team having an opportunity to secure a double podium or even a victory at Monza? Yes, what Charles does afterwards at Turn 2 isn’t right either, but it’s a response to what happened at Turn 1.
- Second point: “Leclerc is the one costing Ferrari the most points, and Lewis isn’t.”
Monza, fair enough. Closing the door on Lewis and pushing him off the track cost LH positions.
In Mexico, at Turn 4, Charles attacks Lewis. Neither of them is thinking about the team in that moment. Charles tries something around the outside, but realises he can’t pull it off and cuts the corner. Lewis sees Charles attacking and defends his position.
Lewis loses P2 because of his aggressive defence against Leclerc. If he had defended normally, Charles would have cut the corner, Lewis would have made the corner, and Charles would then have given the position back to him.
Charles attacks at Turn 4 because the door is open, and more importantly, because they are allowed to race each other. There were no team orders.
Using these two incidents as examples to push the narrative that “Charles is the one costing Ferrari points, while Lewis isn’t” is quite something. I think some of you have a short memory. Maybe it’s time to remember Singapore. Why did Lewis refuse to box when the team told him to?
Simply because he wanted to finish ahead of his teammate. And that’s understandable, because a driver’s first rival is always his teammate.
But that decision cost Ferrari points, and more importantly, a double podium. At that point in the race, Charles was P2 and Lewis was P3. By the end of the race, Charles finished P2 and Lewis P6.
So, what I’m trying to explain is that we need to stop pushing this narrative. When two teammates fight each other, you’re unhappy. When two teammates don’t fight each other, you’re still unhappy.
I don’t know if everything I’ve said is completely objective, but I’ve tried to be as objective as possible. Now it’s time to think about 🇧🇷
I went a bit insane, I though I send my research proposal theme 2 days ago and now I found out that it didn't fucking send
Im going to crash out seriously
Mediocre results, frequent bad or nonsensical strategy calls and fighting fanbases tankin team reputation
It was literally Ferrari job to prevent it and they just couldn't
Its insane how this nothingburger situation blew up
But also, I think that it was always going to happen sooner or later, from the beginning of the season it was evident that neither of the drivers would be OK playing second fiddle and it was Ferrari job to make it-
Possible and safe for the team
And they failed their job here
I dislike Ham very much, but the biggest problem for me is how the organization as a whole handled it
They should have expected the situation and prepared for it, but they didn't, so we've got what we've got-
