Charles Leclerc s performances bring enjoyment and joy to former Ferrari driver

Former F1 driver Jean Alesi recently spoke about the pleasure of watching Ferrari's Charles Leclerc on track and the excitement the driver brings in terms of his racing maneuvers. In his column for Corriere della Sera, Alesi said: “After Charles Leclerc’s victory in Austria, he is the driver who absolutely brings me enjoyment and joy in waiting and watching a grand prix. Great stress and great joy. There is nothing comparable to the fun Leclerc brings every Sunday. I think he’s the driver who, for years, has led me to wait and then watch a GP with the utmost attention, total enjoyment. He attacks and overtakes, performs classy manoeuvres. Truly exceptional.” Speaking of the Austrian GP Sprint race, where Leclerc and his teammate Carlos Sainz battled it out, he added: “Contrary to what has been said, there was no counterproductive fight.Leclerc was trying to save his tyres at the start. Sainz got a great start and attacked and then left room for his recovering team-mate. Nothing that compromised the chase of Verstappen. Leclerc gets the advantages on his own, on the track, and it is right that Sainz feels he is in contention, useful to the team, without excessive braking.” Charles Leclerc currently stands second in the with a 38-point deficit to championship leader Max Verstappen, while Carlos Sainz remains in fourth, behind Sergio Perez.
