Charles Leclerc will try to win the World Cup. retake the leadership of the Formula One world championship.
Charles Leclerc knows that there are many wheels left, but he still has his biggest challenge ahead of him in the Grand Circus against a Max Verstappen who knows no limits and to whom he will have to yes or yes win this Sunday at home, to retake the leadership that he lost in Spain, taking advantage of the Monegasque’s retirement. to give a punch of authority at the Monaco Grand Prix, while his childhood arch-rival strings together a three-win streak, only if he intends to keep seeing his plate.
After a start that predicted Ferrari leaving behind a decade of bitterness, the momentum is in the energy drink, with its devilish pilot and a bodyguard, like Checo Pérez, a very high performer for much of the championship.
What seemed like an announced ride in the first three appointments, now shows an uncertain outlook for Il Cavallino Rampante,against an increasingly competitive Red Bull Racing, although his problems returned in Spain, with the champion’s car.
While in the blink of an eye Leclerc had scored 46 points (71-25), the Dutchman has managed to turn the cake unexpectedly in the face of so many problems.
Drastic turnaround
< br />With just six of the 22 races (Russia out), the snake now bites the one from Maranello, with a fiercer Verstappen than ever – and boy was it against the tyrant Lewis Hamilton!, unraveling a chess that painted infallible in the Scudería.
The change has been such that Mattia Binotto attributes the profuse bleeding to RBR’s budget in the distance traveled -a strange argument-, before a unexpected assault on the star of Ferrari.
The picture looks good for anyone: Verstappen leads with 6 units (110-104). And knowing his poise and criminal instincts, the “rosso” He defends himself while his cars begin to suffer from power, and he will not waste his time. chance to slaughter the hare.
It seems to take shape what Verstappen did to the almighty Hamilton last year, only that the big affected now would be the driver of the most established team. a.
Leclerc, against the current
Although Verstappen comes from winning the circuit last year, from there. Leclerc has a great opportunity to show that he has what it takes to win. A win lifts him up again, no matter what. succeed the undaunted number 1.
The scenario of the tie would be given in victory of the localist, with second place and fastest lap for Verstappen -in fact, the most likely-, provided that the rugged geography does not forge the tower of Babel, being the most complicated historical circuit, because the walls are flush with a track that is otherwise very narrow.
Precisely, in this type of circuit Ferrari has obtained the best times of the World. It would be necessary to see and it does not happen to Leclerc the same as last year, when he lost his victory. control and remained outside, which he took advantage of. the courageous Verstappen. But that would be the favorite there.
The equality projected even from this Sunday, has only happened in 2021 with Verstappen and Hamilton, it also happened in 2021. in 1974 (Emerson Fittipaldi and Clay Regazzoni).
But from now on the true bloody fight would be seen that was not seen in the first races of two who have been seeing each other for years the faces from the go-karts.
It is time for Leclerc to step forward against the killer of vipers. What’s coming up is not to be missed!
