Formula One Managing Director Ross Brawn gives his two cents on the British Grand Prix in his column. He declared Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc to be his driver of the day. Leclerc thoroughly impressed Brawn as the frontrunner for 50 laps of the race.
He praises the Monegasque for a beautiful drive.“Charles managed the race beautifully. His pace on the mediums was very, very good and he didn’t let the power cutting out issue frustrate him.”
The former Ferrari Technical Director believes that if Leclerc had a better red car, he would’ve stood on top of the podium. “It was a stand-out performance from the Monegasque in a Ferrari that isn’t quite on the level to fight at the front in normal condition.”

However, everyone was impressed by Leclerc’s race that afternoon. Defending two Silver Arrows is no easy feat. Looking at the driver, Brawn hopes that Ferrari will give him a car to do him justice.
“This performance reminded us how good he is, after a bit of quiet time lately. He is an exceptional driver – and I look forward to the day when Ferrari delivers a car that allows him to take the fight to the frontrunners.”
