Charles Leclerc, you make me dream

charles' gift from his crew 😭😭😭😭😭

white shirt: "must be the water"

He just spent the first half a little down complaining about the car and that they have to work with a sad face and then Mara asked “are you a little down/without hope? (Demoralizzato)”

they say charles understood a lot about the car in the sprint, mainly about the "brake-by-wire" which affects rear-braking that is manually adjusted by the driver on his steering wheel via the brake migration option. they also mentioned - he worked on the differential settings to improve performance, particularly in the first sector, where there are several high speed corners

they also mention that the sunday strategy was a risk personally calculated by charles. after he understood how the tyres felt on the friday-sat sessions. they also say leclerc's race pace was on average only over a tenth behind verstappen (??)

additionally, they praise the sf25 thermal management at being able to take in the high temperatures and braking in austin and see it as just another confirmation how they tragically fucked up in singapore. if ferrari are able to do this in austin, they can do it anywhere. ferrari will actually bring a circuit specific engine cooling upgrade to mexico to try to mitigate what happened in singapore
