Schumacher Brushes Off Ferrari F1 Blame-Points at Charles Leclerc Instead

The last weekend in Monaco didn’t go as planned for Charles Leclerc. Although he finished the race this time, he couldn’t do it on the podium of the home Grand Prix. Further, he faced criticism from former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher for his conduct towards the team after the race.

Monaco race was chaotic from the start. The race start kept getting delayed due to the poor weather. The Monegasque was leading the race at the initial stages. However, Leclerc dropped places after Ferrari called him into the pits at the wrong time. He eventually finished behind Max Verstappen at P4.

Ralf didn’t like Leclerc’s message for Ferrari after the Monaco race

The 24-year-old was furious at the Maranello base for the wrong pit-stop decision, which cost him the race win. After the race, a disappointed Leclerc told his team over the radio, “No words. The season is long, but we cannot do that.”

However, Ralf Schumacher didn’t appreciate Charles’s behavior towards the Italian constructors. The former F1 driver mentioned that the Ferrari made fewer errors than Leclerc this season, possibly suggesting Charles’ poor performance in Imola.

Schumacher said to Sky Deutschland, “Leclerc made enough mistakes on his own. He should be calmer with the team. These are things that happen, we win and lose together, and up to now, the team has made less mistakes than him.” (translated using Google)

Lewis Hamilton supports Charles Leclerc to win the championship

Amidst all the criticism Leclerc is getting for what he said to Ferrari, there is still a lot of support for the Monegasque. The Ferrari man is still among the favorites to win the 2022 championship as he is just nine-point behind leader Max Verstappen. Further, he gained the support of Lewis Hamilton.

The seven-time world champion struggles to drive the W13, leaving him unable to compete for the 2022 championship. But he would be supporting the young Monegasque to win the title against the reigning champion.

“Leclerc is very strong, you could always see that,” Hamilton reported to Corriere della Sera. “I would say one thing: if I could sit down with the fans on the bleachers over there, I would support Charles. I am a Ferrari fan.”
