Hard Hitting Reality of Charles Leclerc’s Negligible Title Hopes With Ferrari Exposed As His Own Demons Haunt Him

The adage “When going gets tough, the tougher gets going” is frequently repeated, yet it is rarely acknowledged what one should do when control of the circumstances has been lost. This is specifically the case with Ferrari wonder Charles Leclerc, who joined the legendary Ferrari with an eye on winning a championship in a “red suit.” At the Maranello garage, though, things don’t appear to be going in his favor, and it seems like the challenging circumstances have left him in a precarious position where his own demons are trying to haunt him.

We can sum the Ferrari saga up for us as recurrent disappointments and the anguish of the Tifosi. Despite their decisions to occasionally swap the team boss, Ferrari hasn’t been able to maintain its position at the top. Speaking specifically of Leclerc in season 2023, who in his early career was seen challenging Sebastian Vettel, now finds it difficult to secure even a spot in the top three. It seems that the Monegasque driver’s spirits have been crushed by repeated strategic error, tire wears, and reliability issues with the Prancing Horse.

According to F1 enthusiast Peter Windsor, in the 25-year-old’s professional racing career, he seems to have come to a point where he appears powerless, and it seems to have tormented him. With a difference 0f 141 points from the leader Max Verstappen, the Ferrari driver appears to have accepted the fact that SF23’s lack of momentum has already destroyed his chances of winning the championship.

As per f1.maximaal.com, Windsor said, “I have the impression that Charles has come to a point in his career at Ferrari where he realizes that he has given everything in every possible way and that it has not worked. Now he just drives as fast as possible and doesn’t want to get involved in anything else. The political situation is too complicated and he wants to focus on driving.” 

Being well aware of the fact that being a Ferrari driver comes with a lot of responsibility and challenges, Windsor feels Leclerc might be “quite emotional, and in the back of his mind he has a kind of complex pressure.” [Translated via Google]

With only 54 points in the bag and low spirits, it will be extremely difficult for the Monegasque to maintain patience. So If the stakeholders try to make a surprising contract for Leclerc, will the 25-year-old accept it?

An ex-F1 champion brings up a “Fernando Alonso” solution for Charles Leclerc

Earlier, there was talk that Ferrari might offer Lewis Hamilton a massive $49 Million pay in an effort to entice him to join the team. However, once the issue concluded with Hamilton’s desire to stay with Mercedes, all eyes are now focused on Charles Leclerc, whose contract with the Prancing Horse will expire at the end of 2024. There aren’t plenty of options for Leclerc to go if he decides to leave Ferrari because the grid is so limited and some of the best drivers have already reserved their spots.

In that case, a 1996 champion Damon Hill has given a “Fernando Alonso” solution to Leclerc. The former champion claims that given Fernando Alonso’s two-year contract with the shining green team is also set to expire in 2024, Aston Martin may offer an enormous amount in order for him to give up his seat for the Monegasque.

While expressing his views Hill said, “I suppose he could look at Aston Martin but I think Fernando’s got a two-year contract with them anyway. I think he’d probably step aside if they paid him enough money, but I don’t think he wants to give up a competitive drive.”
