Charles Leclerc had a difficult season as 2020 was filled with struggles for Ferrari and their drivers. They had their worst season since 1980. From being a top team, Ferrari fell down to P6, scrapping the mid-field this season.
The team will host Carlos Sainz alongside Charles Leclerc next season. In an interview, the Monegasque talked about his season and his view for the future. During the interview, he discussed the criticism that angers him the most.
He said, “One that touches me more than others is arrogance, because I know very well that I haven’t changed. The further I go in my career, the more I see that people want to be my friend, certainly not because they like me as a person but because I am a pilot. Ferrari. So I close myself a bit.”

He further added, “But that’s not arrogance, I haven’t changed from that point of view. Well, this touches me personally. Both my father and Jules Bianchi have always told me to keep my feet on the ground. I’ve always kept that advice in mind. That’s why the word arrogance bothers me more than the others.”
