“Papa Vasseur” Takes Care of Favorite Child Charles Leclerc as Tifosi Take a Sigh of Relief Amid Civil War Rumors

A lot has been made about the team dynamics at play currently in Ferrari. However, what the team desperately needs right now, more than anything, is harmony and balance within the team. This weekend, the Scuderia and Charles Leclerc will be hoping to kick-start their 2023 campaign. And the early signs from the Jeddah Street Circuit are positive, at least with regard to the relationship shared between the 25-year-old Monegasque and his French team principal, Frederic Vasseur.

After the disappointment in Bahrain, a lot of speculation was floating in the media and around the paddock about the strained relationship the duo had suffered in the aftermath of Leclerc’s lap-40 retirement. Be that as it may, Leclerc came out recently to stick a pin in those rumors. But words are one thing, actions are another. The recent body language between the two can be amply seen in a pre-race Sky Sports segment where Leclerc was up against Timo Glock in a game of ping-pong.

This light-hearted moment shared by the men present there was a welcome sign for Ferrari fans. And as soon as this post went viral, they took to the social networking platform to share their reactions with the whole world.
