Charles Leclerc Given Consolation by Former Champ Over Preferential Red Bull Treatment as Fans Join the Banter: “Did My Man Dirty!!”

After three disappointing back-to-back races, Ferrari finally found something to rejoice about in Baku. Catching everyone by surprise, Charles Leclerc showed signs of brilliance right from Friday. The Monegasque carried the form to the race day, where he finally delivered a podium for the team. Reaching there after a long wait, he expected to be the center of the media’s attention. However, reality turned out to be quite different. As the Ferrari ace refused to hold back his boredom, fans and Jenson Button came up with some hilarious takes of their own.

Leclerc started off the race pretty well and held on to the lead. That was until the DRS assistance was enabled and Max Verstappen took full advantage of it. Even without it, the Red Bull driver in P2 kept gaining on him with his 8 kph (4.9 mph) straight-line speed superiority. On Lap 4, he finally overtook him with utmost ease. Two laps later, it was Sergio Perez‘s turn to repeat what his teammate did in the same corner.

For the rest of the race, Leclerc managed to hold on to P3, delivering Ferrari’s first podium of the season. It certainly was a big achievement not just for him but for the entire team, given how much they had struggled until then. Surely the media had a ton of questions to ask of him during the post-race press conference.

SIKE! They didn’t. Reporters from all over had all their questions reserved for the Red Bull duo. Charles kept waiting for his turn until he grew tired and kept his mic on the side. Then it was him just rolling his eyes and making some funny faces to express just how bored he was.

Take a look at how it all panned out and how Jenson and the fans had a field day with the jokes.

Some fans absolutely loved Charles’ eye-roll when yet another question went to either of the Red Bull drivers.

Given how Red Bull has won all 4 races until now, some fans have grown tired of the season already. They related to Charles’ reaction and urged him to make things a bit more interesting.
