Despite Promises of Bringing Ferrari Back, Charles Leclerc Did the Thing Enzo Ferrari Hated

Just a month ago, amidst the tumultuous battles on the track, Charles Leclerc made a bold declaration, “I am even more motivated to change that, to bring Ferrari back to where it deserves to be.” This announcement cast a ray of hope amid the struggles faced by the team. A season fraught with setbacks hasn’t deterred the young driver’s self-belief; he continues to fight valiantly, Charles Leclerc, carries the weight of Ferrari‘s history on his shoulders, with high hopes. But as the wheels of time turn, Leclerc’s journey takes a surprising twist, reminiscent of the very man who founded the iconic Scuderia.

As the engines cooled and the summer sun beckoned, Leclerc’s path took an unexpected detour—one that Enzo Ferrari himself might not have endorsed. While Charles’ words echoed his dedication to Ferrari’s revival, his actions painted a contrasting picture. The Monegasque opted for a vacation with his newfound flame, Alexandra Saint Mleux. Currently, Leclerc is basking in the scenic beauty of Corsica, indulging in a summer break that he richly deserves. As cameras captured their idyllic moments by the sea, it was clear that this young racer was embracing a slice of life that Enzo Ferrari held at arm’s length.

Enzo Ferrari was known for his commanding presence and unwavering work ethic and had a demeanor as formidable as his brand’s legacy. According to Quotidiano, Luca di Montezemolo, reflecting on his time with the legendary Enzo Ferrari quipped, “Commanding! For example, Enzo hated holidays, in August he kept me in the office, he couldn’t stand people going on vacation. But he was also a funny guy.” [translated via Google] Charles Leclerc unwittingly treads the same path that Enzo Ferrari himself disdained – the allure of vacation.

It’s not just Leclerc, but his teammate Carlos Sainz has also found himself on a similar path that Enzo Ferrari vehemently opposed.

Carlos Sainz has embarked on a vacation of his own. Sardinia, Italy, a picturesque destination that beckons with sun-kissed beaches and tranquil waters, plays host to Sainz’s retreat. It’s here, amidst the coastal charm of Costa Smeralda, that Sainz finds solace, just like his teammate Charles Leclerc, who’s unwinding in Corsica. In an intriguing parallel to Enzo Ferrari’s holiday aversion, Carlos Sainz too finds himself embracing the allure of a vacation.

But that’s not all – the plot thickens as whispers of companionship surround Sainz. As he is accompanied by his new girlfriend Rebecca Donaldson, a Scottish model, and the duo seems to be enjoying their time on a yacht along the Costa Smeralda coast. As whispers of their romance danced through the air, the couple set their course to the shores of Sardinia.

What do you think are vacations a waste of time or a norm human desire?
