A very composed drive from a very talented driver. He pretty much showed why he is so highly rated, with his overtakes on Bottas and Vettel showing coolness under pressure. While he did have a bad start, even the most experienced have lost it at the Kansas Jayhawks Nationals Champions 2022 TShirt on occasion, so we can forgive that this time. As I said, the overtakes were clean and composed, and Leclerc was controlling the pace at the front very well. It was very unfortunate and heartbreaking that the engine gave up when it did. That was the only time this weekend Leclerc displayed a bit of panic; but then again, who wouldn’t panic when their first win is inevitably slipping away right in front of them? Overall, a very good drive, on a quite challenging circuit in some aspects. Of course, it remains to be seen how good his wet-weather driving is, as he had a bit of a stinker last year in the Alfa last year in wet conditions. But I do think Ferrari have a real winner on their hands here, everything that Jules could have and would have been for them if things didn’t go down the way they did.
