#cl quote

"Not anymore. Not anymore. It was an incredible moment, and a moment I will forever remember. However, all good things comes to an end at one point, and especially in a world like motorsports where everything and everybody is so competitive, you cannot stay on a high for too long. I've had an amazing party on the Sunday night. A good recovery on the Monday - sleeping all day. And already from the Tuesday it was focusing on this weekend, so.. It was a special moment, a very emotional moment, but it remains only one victory and that's not where I want to stop. It's a victory that, for sure, means more than others for me, but it's only one victory and I want to be a world champion and in order to do that, we've got to focus on what's ahead and not what we achieved."

Nicolas Moni [karting instructor at Brignoles]:

"Charles Leclerc has never been afraid! The first time, when he went on a skiing trip, we asked him if he could ski, and he said, 'Of course!' and he started with the black ski run. Of course it was a lie, he had never skied before...

He fell a 1000 times but never complained. When we older guys went for a run, he came along. 10 kilometers. He was struggling but he never stopped. We were confident that he would stay in bed during the whole next day, but no, he was there with us for another run."

I didn't include what Lorenzo said after this quote, because it just broke me:

“Anyway, what else would he have done?”

Will Lewis and Charles be good teammates next year?

"I think if it was Lewis of sort of 7-8 years ago, it would be a tricky relationship, but now he just seems so relaxed in himself. No, I don't think they're going to have issues as being teammates at all. No more than Carlos and Charles have right now.

Do I think they will work well together? Yes. I think the positives that Charles has: he knows the team, speaks Italian. If he wanted to be, he could make it really, really difficult for Lewis in that team, the atmosphere. And you can say: ‘Well, that’s not sportsmanship, sportmanlike’ – but that’s part of racing. And Nico Rosberg will tell you that as well. It's about getting the team of people behind you, so that gives you strength and it takes away strength from your teammate. But Lewis has been around long enough to understand the situation, and I'm really, really looking forward to that. That fight between teammates. Obviously they're working together, they're Ferrari! It's all about Ferrari!!"
