He followed this impressive performance from pole position with two victories in Belgium and Italy.
It took Charles Leclerc a year to understand the dynamics of the Ferrari F1 team
In a recent episode of F1 podcast Beyond the Grid, Charles Leclerc explained why it took him so long to understand Ferrari F1 team dynamics. “I felt comfortable right from the start. I had to learn a lot, but it felt like I knew her right away – about social relationships year, I’ll say. Almost a year to understand exactly the dynamics of the team, how you deal with problems, how you react to these problems. Yeah, probably almost a year. “
While Leclerc admitted that it took him a long time to get used to Ferrari F1, he said the learning process was very interesting. “It is a long time. Yes, yes, it’s a very, very long time, but it’s very, very interesting. It feels a lot shorter to live and you can feel all the steps and every time you learn something, and when you apply it you just get a better understanding of how it all works. You also feel that you are in better control of the situation, “added Leclerc.

Charles Leclerc explained that F1 is a sport that drivers must constantly learn, and Ferrari F1 helped him achieve just that. “I have the feeling that as a driver, as a person, I’ve grown a lot. How much better? It’s hard to quantify but I definitely feel like a better driver compared to my first arrival every difficult race but every good race we’ve had … but it made it very interesting; it’s a sport that I’m constantly learning from and I think everyone on this grid learns every time they get in the car, ”concluded Leclerc.
