Do you recall when Fernando Alonso retired from the Brazilian GP and sat on a chair? Charles Leclerc had a similar moment yesterday during the qualifying session. However, what followed was heart-wrenching. After seeing the Monegasque in a defeated state, the Tifosi are left asking for a depressing demand. What are they asking? What was the heart-wrenching moment?
Charles Leclerc seems to have been struck by some sort of a curse. After the 2022 disappointments from Ferrari’s end, 2023 hasn’t been any better if not worse. After barely making it out of Q1 which was followed by a rant, Charles Leclerc binned his Ferrari into the barrier in Q3. The Monegasque just took way too much speed into a corner, and couldn’t brake in time on a track that was damp in some areas.

However, what followed was the heart-wrenching part. Charles Leclerc climbed over the barrier and just sat down wondering what had he done wrong to deserve this. Just moments later, Max Verstappen comfortably got the pole with half a second margin. Leclerc can be seen leaning on the fence as he watches Verstappen celebrate the pole with his team and GF Kelly Piquet.
Fans weren’t able to see Charles Leclerc in this defeated state. As a result, the fans made a peculiar request which surprised us a little bit. It’s a demand that doesn’t go along with Leclerc’s dream but actually might be the right one. Let’s see what the fans are saying.
Fans react to Charles Leclerc watching Max Verstappen celebrate the pole
Fans took to Twitter as soon as they saw the video of Leclerc in a defeated state. Many fans advised Charles Leclerc to make a move to Red Bull if he didn’t want disappointments time and time again. This was advised despite the fact that people know how much Leclerc loves Ferrari and how he wants to win championships with them. As many explained that Ferrari wasn’t ready for title fights, some suggested that Leclerc was watching his future teammate. Let’s see how the fans reacted on Twitter:
should just go to redbull when his contract ends. I think Ferrari have more than proved they aren't ready to fight for titles still
