Because for months no one realised the obvious. Sainz sabotaged his own career himself. His ego killed his chances. He might even be better than Checo or whatever that's your opinion but there's more to a contract than that
🔴 Ferrari s'est appuyée sur Leclerc pour diriger le développement de la voiture 2024.
Maranello a mis beaucoup l'accent sur son "joyau", car elle a pris en considération les différentes indications de Leclerc pour orienter le développement de la voiture vers le projet 2024.
Wolff: “Why wouldn't Ferrari sign him”
Horner: “They'd be crazy if they didn't”
2 top TPs from teams who are known to have contacted Charles saying this but twitter users were telling me why would they give him 50 million?? 💀💀
CHARLES & FRED'S ACTING SKILLS IN THAT EPISODE GIVE HIM AN OSCAR BECAUSE HE DID NOT SAY
"YEAH THAT WAS A BIT OVER THE TOP"
LMAOOOO THAT MAN WAS GIGGLING 😭😂
Ferrari announces Charles Leclerc has signed a contract extension
No length given, but Leclerc says: "I’m very pleased to know that I will be wearing the Scuderia Ferrari race suit for several more seasons to come"
#F1
my husband has cheated on me (the racing driver who I have a parasocial relationship with spotted with his gf) I will never emotionally recover from this (I'm actually really happy for him because he deserves the world)
Sainz fucked up REALLY BADLY Ferrari refused to acknowledge his existence. That's what happens when you try to blackmail Scuderia Ferrari and "warn them" with audi news THAT TOO DURING MONZA like are you insane
He is ill advised. His team is his family. Who for his whole career told him you're the best you're a top driver. Which is fine it's your family but the result is he's not self aware. He is not and never will be at the level of Charles & Max but Binotto/Sainz sr told him he is
I was told Sainz is NOW driving for himself he doesn't owe anything to Ferrari but this was Carlos in the middle of contract negotiations pushing Charles off the track I'm sure Fred & Elkann loved this behaviour
Idk what will happen but
Charles Leclerc threatening to leave after Binotto's crimes in 22 > Elkann waking up signing Fred Vasseur > Fred hiring Lewis Hamilton & firing Sainz/Sanchez & Binotto's men > hopefully newey signing & making Ferrari a serious team
This domino effect🔥
The way Charles includes Xavi & Bryan in his activities outside of racing should make it clear the problems in 2022 were way more complex & Binotto just wanted to fire one specific guy. That too midseason to create more problems for Charles probably.Not Rueda & Co but only Xavi??
The entire Singapore discourse could've been at least halved if people including Sainz himself could acknowledge that it was a strategy teamwork win and Leclercs first stint and creating the gap to protect from a RUS undercut was a big part of that
@eldritchwretch
I didn't know about this before but someone made a thread that she has done the same in every relationship she has ever been in. It's a pattern at this point
Just realised why Sainz fans are mad about THIS nepotism signing because Charles younger brother will be in the sim and development program no Sainz related influences anywhere 🤣🤣🤣
"The two Ferrari SF-23s had very similar setup settings and this suggests that Carlos Sainz's situation was not different in terms of wear"
So Sainz basically gained a podium due to Lewis' badluck that he was tested and Sainz wasn't.
"Vegas, to be perfectly honest, probably Charles [Leclerc] in the Ferrari was the quicker driver.
Max [SAFETY CAR 🙄] made the difference there for sure"
I'm once again genuinely asking when did he do someone for the team because last time we wanted him to do something he let Max & George pass or Qualify p16 when the team needed it 🤦♀️
#F1
: 🗞️ Jacques Villeneuve: “Sainz will have no interest in playing the team’s games. Ferrari’s results for him now count for zero, the only thing that will count will be his results. He has to [produce] them for his 2025 contract. […]
So Charles didn't have any time for testing the new upgrade. He didn't do quali & race sims. His setup already has issues. Quali will be wet tomorrow & he will have just one free practice session left. I'm sorry but no one else on the grid is having these stupid issues every week
🆑: “i understand that they wouldn’t have taken me in ferrari. i thought it was a bit strange that he called me to tell me that, i was disappointed. 15 seconds after he called me and told me he was joking.
i hung up the phone and dived into the sea, it felt all so surreal!”
All this Sainz is better than Lec/Ham....I just have one thing to say both Lewis & Charles have earned wins & podiums with their competitors in the race. When you're in a wdc fight you can't rely on RB messing up their setup/burning brakes. You have to actually defend & overtake
Anyways here's Monza 2019 where Charles Leclerc in his 2nd year of F1 and 1st year in Ferrari kept behind both Mercedes without his teammate (who was p14) or drs train with a slower car 😙🫶
Interview to the TP of Ferrari:
"The departure of Sainz wasn't easy. Him and Charles are very competitive, i need to calm them down every two gps, but they respect the team.
Lewis is "fresh blood", persuade him wasn't easy, he thought about for a century.
