MODERATORS
I've mentioned this a few times in other threads. When it comes to pure speed, Leclerc is exceptional. However, he has struggled with consistency and missed opportunities for improvement on occasion. There have been moments where it seemed like Leclerc expected Ferrari to grant him preferential treatment without making a substantial investment in the team.
On the contrary, Carlos Sainz has shown significant improvement. He emphasizes that consistency is the key at Ferrari, and his performance reflects this belief. This strategy isn't entirely new; Vettel tried a similar approach during his time at Ferrari. Despite Ferrari's internal politics hindering them from achieving more wins, Vettel's consistency was a key factor in their success during his tenure.
Leclerc has raw talent in spades but I feel as if he's lacking racecraft, and he has a habit of trying to bend the laws of physics to get more out of the car -- which usually n end up with him just bending a Armco and DNFing. Carlos' skill level might not be quite on Charles' level, but he's a tactical racer, and able to make strategy calls from the car in a way that works better for him than if he leaned entirely on Ferrari's meme-tier pitwall crew.
Now if he'd just knock off on cutting unpredictably to the inside on Turn 1 Lap 1, he'd be golden...
