What kid are they talking about?
We'll see how the young Leclerc handles things, but so far he looks way calmer and smarter—maybe even more talented than Max...
Signing Leclerc was a damn smart move for Ferrari 👍
He might not be Vettel's favorite (actually, yeah, he definitely isn't 😬), but for the team, he's more than enough...
And unlike Red Bull, they don't have that massive weight on their shoulders to be the absolute best every single second...
The kid will probably evolve into a top-tier driver without the wild outbursts and tics Max has. He'll likely be much more mentally stable, won't go causing chaos and making a mess of everything for everyone else or within his own team...
If I had to bet serious money on who becomes a multi-time champ in the next 10 seasons, it would be Leclerc over Max, and I'm saying that right now...
No matter how much people hate Vettel or Hamilton, they're in a completely different league compared to Max ☕
And those guys still have plenty of seasons left in them; the only question is how much drive they'll have left...
At the end of the day, even if Vettel leaves for whatever reason, Hamilton or Ricciardo would realistically be a much smarter choice for them.
Max is fast, sure, but he's also a loose cannon who isn't a consistent point scorer, and you can't find that in a top-tier team.
The gap between Max and Ricciardo is pretty much like the gap between Grosjean and Magnussen at Haas...
Sure, Grosjean shows flashes of speed and is often faster than Magnussen,
sure, Grosjean is the one who'll grab Haas's highest finishing position of the season, and Grosjean is the one who'll snag the best qualifying spot for Haas...
But what does that matter for Haas when Grosjean simultaneously spends the season throwing massive tantrums and wasting tons of points...
Only to end up with way fewer points than Magnussen, who isn't even that special...
