I think in order to be a Charles fan you have to accept that he has a high risk high reward driving style (which is one of my favorite things about him). He's going to push the car above its limits even if it means ending up in the wall (which rarely even happens mind you)
having a car (engine wise) not strong enough to fight the others in front means that you have to take more risk if you want to finish on the podium or really high up. and sometimes, it doesn't work out.
that doesn't take away AT ALL from the amazing season charles is having and from the great race he was doing yesterday up until that point (and even after, by recovering the car from that situation). he remains one of the best drivers from recent years, delivering incredible performances, defenses and overtakes.
hopefully soon enough ferrari will have a stronger engine that will help with the fights at the front. until then, i know he'll keep giving his all to score podiums and that is what makes him my favorite driver. onto canada 🇨🇦❤️
it kills me that when charles’ risks pay off and he has an incredible race it’s “that’s my driver” and when it doesn’t it’s just throw him under the bus. you need to decide if you like him trying no matter what or if you just like riding on his coattails when he does well
