As if social media's lynching weren't enough, now Charles is catching strays from ex-drivers too and that is for building a family???? Isn't it getting out of line now????
🚨| Ferrari's Driver Hierarchy Dismissed by Coulthard:
— David Coulthard believes Ferrari cannot impose a driver hierarchy between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Speaking to media, Coulthard remarked:
“I don't think it is an option for them.”
— Coulthard emphasized the caliber of both drivers, noting Hamilton's experience and Leclerc's speed and status within the team. He commented:
“You employ Lewis Hamilton, and you've got Charles Leclerc, who's been there for several years, is blindingly fast and a sort of poster boy for a racing driver.”
— Reflecting on the dynamics within Ferrari, Coulthard expressed skepticism about the personal lives of drivers affecting their professional roles:
“Good-looking, he's got the family, a baby on the way, a dog in the paddock... my opinion is that's all a bit too much, quite frankly.”
— Coulthard highlighted the seriousness of Formula 1, contrasting it with lighter activities:
“It's not a weekend away picnic, is it? It's a grand prix, it's a serious business. It's a dangerous business, but that's probably me being of an older generation.”
— On managing top-tier drivers, Coulthard stated:
“They [Ferrari] don't have a choice. They've employed two of the best drivers in the world. You then manage them as best you can.”
— After the Monza race, Hamilton downplayed the incident with Leclerc, suggesting it was too late to change their approach to challenge Mercedes. Coulthard speculated on Ferrari's internal rules:
“I suspect they do.”
— He elaborated on contractual obligations for drivers to follow team instructions:
“There'll be somewhere in the contract that says that the driver has to take fair and reasonable instructions from a senior member of the team.”
— Coulthard explained the necessity of such clauses to prevent drivers from acting independently:
“That's a pretty generic clause that's in all contracts because otherwise you could employ a driver and he could go rogue.”
