“Are you really taking his lap times?“asked the incredulous 24-year-old. “Of course yes”, the Monegasque replied. This will be a crucial year for Leclerc, after remaining without victories in 2023 and with the prospect, in 12 months, of finding himself in the same garage as seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. The mental attitude, however, seems to be the right one.
