Ferrari’s Poor Management Blamed for Charles Leclerc’s Tragic Downfall as Pressure Continues to Mount on the Italian Giants
Ferrari, a name synonymous with iconic, has found itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Ferrari’s recent string of miscommunications and strategic mistakes have put a roadblock in the path of their talented driver, Charles Leclerc. Leclerc admits, “I don’t understand what we are doing wrong, but we are doing something wrong.” Leclerc’s frustration is indicative of the struggle he faces in finding consistent handling characteristics in the Ferrari.
Peter Windsor expressed his concerns about the cluttered environment within the Ferrari team during “F1 live chat with Peter Windsor.” Leclerc’s recent struggles in the Spanish Grand Prix further highlight the challenges he faces. Qualifying saw him encounter rear-end issues that led to an unexpected early exit from Q1. Leclerc’s car adjustments, such as the rear suspension changes, were made in a perfunctory manner without addressing any specific issues. Leclerc’s performance remained lackluster, finishing 12th and missing out on valuable points.
Peter Windsor’s insightful analysis points to the detrimental impact of Ferrari’s meddling and its failure to capitalize on key opportunities. Windsor emphasized,“I think Charles needs really good driver management he needs somebody a to give him confidence and B to keep all the Clutter out of his you know there’s a lot of you know you want to listen to the signals but not the noise and that’s what I think there’s too much noise at Ferrari in general but I think Charles had so much of it that it’s probably getting on top of him on an in an endlessly annoying way.”

Windsor further highlighted the missed opportunity to learn from Max Verstappen’s successful tire strategy in Barcelona. Leclerc, being a highly skilled driver, should have had the means to achieve similar results. Windsor called on the team, particularly Team Principal Frederic Vasseur, to ensure that Leclerc receives the necessary support and guidance. The failure to recognize and adopt successful approaches from other teams reflects a lack of attention to detail within Ferrari’s management structure.

This lackadaisical approach further raises concerns about Ferrari’s commitment to maximizing Leclerc’s performance. Similar instances, such as the braking issue with Leclerc’s car in Melbourne, add to the overall worry surrounding Ferrari’s ability to provide an optimal environment for its talented driver.

In an interview with Sky F1, Max Verstappen acknowledged Ferrari’s rich history and prestige in Formula 1, highlighting it as an appealing team to race for. However, he emphasized that his priority lies in driving the fastest car. Verstappen’s patience paid off when he finally secured a competitive car with Red Bull, and he relishes the experience of being at the forefront of the grid. While Verstappen remains content with his current team, he does not rule out the possibility of joining Ferrari if they can deliver the ultimate speed machine.
Experts, such as former Le Mans LMP2 winner Richard Bradley, believe that Verstappen could be tempted to join Ferrari in the future. His ambition to be among the all-time greats in the sport could lead him to emulate legends like Michael Schumacher, who transformed Ferrari into World Champions, Verstappen could further solidify his place among the all-time greats of the sport.
