“No Regrets”: Ferrari Loyalist Charles Leclerc Puts Faith in Fred Vasseur to Destroy Max Verstappen

As Tifosi, what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Ferrari in recent years? Many of you might have the word ‘mess’ in your mind, and we agree. The Scuderia has been in shambles for over a decade now. A team known for its racing heritage that hasn’t won anything in 15 years. Yet, Charles Leclerc puts his faith in Frederic Vasseur to destroy Max Verstappen. Why so?

Charles Leclerc is a Tifosi through and through. The Monegasque breathes and bleeds Ferrari. Despite Ferrari’s inability to provide a title-challenging car, thousands of strategic blunders, and unforced errors, Charles Leclerc is adamant about staying at Ferrari and winning his first championship wearing the Red of Ferrari. Leclerc was recently asked if he’d make a move to Red Bull to replace Max Verstappen.

Charles Leclerc, being the Ferrari loyalist that he is, profoundly refused the option of a move to Red Bull. Monegasque explained how it is his dream to race with Ferrari and bring glory back to the Maranello stable. While he acknowledged Ferrari’s inferiority to Red Bull in terms of car performance, there’s no other place than Ferrari that he’d rather be. He loves Ferrari and has no regrets. 

According to formulapassion.it, Charles Leclerc told la Repubblica “I would never change with him [Max Verstappen], in the sense that being a Ferrari driver has always been my dream and becoming world champion with Ferrari is my goal. I know that right now I don’t have the car to fight with Max, but I have no doubts that my path is right. I’ll look at my career when I stop, but I have no regrets or remorse. I’m happy at Ferrari.” [Translated via Google]

As Leclerc puts his faith in Ferrari, it is up to Frederic Vasseur to make sure that the Monegasque gets a competitive enough car to compete for the world championship. Nonetheless, the Frenchman is working toward improving the team as Leclerc acknowledged his efforts.

Charles Leclerc hailed Frederic Vasseur for bubble approach

It’s still early days for Frederic Vasseur at Ferrari. Only next year will we be able to see his effect on a full scale. Yet, in this limited time, Vasseur understood the effect that external media has on the Ferrari, which might affect the people and hence the performance. Leclerc explained how Vasseur has created a bubble so as to make sure the outside influence doesn’t affect the team. 

According to motorsport-total.com, Charles Leclerc said, “I think we’ve created a bubble where we don’t let what’s happening outside influence us too much, and that’s really good. I think Fred was really on board and immediately understood that the media could influence the team in some way in the past, and that was one of the focus areas at the beginning of the year.” [Translated via Google]
