“Ask a child to draw a car, and certainly he will draw it red,” said the great Enzo Ferrari, who vouched for the charisma of the team. He had a magical vision for a team that wore its love for racing on its sleeve. The most successful team in the history of the sport has always been the most mesmerizing wonder for all. Charles Leclerc is no exception, as he has proved his love for the team once again. And the Tifosi have left no stone unturned in celebrating the man’s initiation into the 2023 season.
An unexpected pole by the man who overtook Michael Schumacher’s record for the maximum Ferrari pole in a single season broke the months-long spell of gloom at Maranello. Charles Leclerc ‘who won in Spa and won Monza’ (in 2019) has brought happiness back, registering himself 0.8 seconds ahead of his teammate Carlos Sainz. And we just cannot get over the extremely happy Leclerc.
Yesterday, the loyal man denied being in talks with Mercedes and stated he continues to believe in the team at least till the time he is around. And today after registering a hat-trick of poles on the dramatic streets of Baku, the man did something which had the Tifosi overwhelmed with joy.

Charles Leclerc points at his first love after a surprising Baku pole
“Really a good surprise,” said Leclerc in the post-race interview speaking to Mark Webber. And somewhere around, coming out of the car to move to the garage, the man with a dimpled smile pointed at his chest. It was the Prancing Horse logo the man was happily pointing to and F1 Twitter couldn’t stop itself from showering love.
Charles is Ferrari. This performance today was completely insane. Ferrari needs to treat him like "Charles is Ferrari" and then there is the possibility that he stays until he is getting too old for F1. He loves this team and they just have to give him enough to have hope.

The man perhaps has shut the rumor mill of his move with one gesture and Tifosi christened the Monegasque as the “biggest Ferrari fanboy.”
