piero ferrari talking about charles after spain:
"difficult periods can happen to anyone. i have absolutely no doubts about charles's abilities. he has given us a lot, and he will continue to give us a lot. in spain, before the dnf caused by the technical issue during the race, his weekend had already been compromised by the mistake he made in qualifying, when he had pole position within reach. he'll bounce back.
i know leclerc, and he's not the kind of person who loses confidence just because he has a very strong teammate. after all, lewis is a 7 time world champion, he holds virtually every record, and he's a benchmark for everyone. but I'm convinced that charles, too, will soon experience the taste of victory" โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
A better feeling inside the car this weekend that wasnโt translated into the final result but Iโll keep pushing so better days comes soon.
Happy for Lewis and the team. They executed everything perfectly this weekend, a first win in red is always one to remember.
Looking forward to Austria and thank you for all your support, as always. It means a lot, especially in moments like these โค๏ธ
charles will be on track tomorrow and on wednesday for the pirelli test in barcelona. rafa camara is expected to be on track on thursday driving the sf-25

If you think Charles wonโt bounce back from these three terrible races, then you donโt know him well enough.
In 2022, he came back from the following sequence:
๐ฎ๐น Imola: Mistake.
๐ช๐ธ Spain: Dominating the race, but the turbo decided to give up.
๐ฒ๐จ Monaco: He was P1, but Ferrari ruined his race.
๐ฆ๐ฟ Azerbaijan: He was P1 but the engine decided to give up
๐จ๐ฆ Canada: Took an engine penalty and started P19.
๐ฌ๐ง Silverstone: He was P1 but Ferrari ruined his race.
Charles is mentally strong; he will bounce back from this. 100% sureโผ๏ธโผ๏ธโผ๏ธ
