There are no real excuses when you see what Leclerc does in the other car. If he is making the money of a 7 time WDC winner, he needs to perform like one, and he has come nowhere to that standard, no matter how hard people defend him.
Hard to perform when the car is crap, and when it isn't the pitwall is incompetent.
How can you say that when since the summer break, he and Ollie have the same number of points excluding sprints? Is the Haas a better car than the Ferrari? At some point, this is less of a car issue and more of a driver issue. For comparison, Leclerc has scored 63 points in that time frame, meanwhile Ollie has 32 and Lewis has 39, 7 of those coming from the sprints in Austin and here in Brazil.

The Haas might be slower, but it definitely seems like a more consistent car, the SF-25 is a basket case.

Tbf to Lewis he would have had quite a bit more points if his brakes didnt explode in singapore and i have my reservations on how mexico was handled

It's a horrible racing car but it does have some performance in there which is just really difficult to extract, and that particular aspect is up to the driver to mange.

Leclerc has been dealing with such cars for years now, so he is obviously doing a much better job at extracting whatever performance the car has, this is sort of normal working conditions for Leclerc but absolutely abnormal ones for Hamilton.

Can't wait to see what Leclerc can do in a proper race car...

Leclerc's view on the situation

I think Piastri was a bit too optimistic. But at the same time, I think Kimi could have avoided him. There's nothing I could do about it, it's really frustrating. In the end, I don't blame either Oscar or Kimi; these things happen, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's all Oscar's fault.

The stewards always try to do their best, but in this situation, Kimi knew very well that Oscar was on the inside. You can't take the corner as if there's no one on the inside. I'm not angry at either of them, but it's certainly not just Oscar's fault. I'd say it's more 50/50.

I know I didn't do anything wrong. There was nothing risky in my move, and I absolutely learned nothing from this race. In these situations, you have to try to forget as quickly as possible and move on, but it's not easy. We're fighting for second place in the constructors' championship, and it'll be extremely tough to get it.

Charles has indeed gotten really good at driving by the seat of his pants, but it's really hard to win a championship that's way unless your car is head and shoulders above the competition, and the same for you with your teammate.

Honestly, I feel like giving LeClerc a hug. How long will bad luck keep chasing him ? Yes he makes mistakes at times, but he has had more DNFs from no fault of his own than those from his own mistakes. Could have been on the podium today.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy too. Maybe that's the problem.... Nice guys finish last?
