In a fast-moving sport like Formula 1, everyone needs to improvise, adapt, and overcome any setbacks they face during a particular race weekend. In fact, now with the increased number of races, the sport requires all drivers to move on as soon as possible. This is exactly what Charles Leclerc will need to do after his heartbreaking disqualification in Austin. In fact, this is exactly what he is doing as he embraces the “Mexican Vibes”.

The Monegasque qualified on pole for the main race in Austin and raced brilliantly to cross the chequered flag sixth. However, the random plank check turned the 2023 US GP into a complete disaster. Although the Mexican has put his US GP heartbreak in the past, he is focusing his attention on Mexico as they chase a Mercedes record down.

Leclerc is in love with Mexico as a country and he is all ready for the Mexican GP as well. The Ferrari man will try to take his weekend performance one step further from Austin with a win in the Mexican GP. The Monegasque expressed this excitement ahead of the weekend in the latest YouTube video posted by Ferrari.

Under the “Mexican Vibes” section of the video, Leclerc said, “Mexico is always a very special place. The passion that is there is incredible. It’s one of the races where we have the most support and I’ve always enjoyed Mexico. I went there for New Years two years ago and it was a great time and the race is no exception. So I always enjoy going back there.”

A win in Mexico will be a tremendous boost for Leclerc and Ferrari. In fact, a win in Mexico will put the Italian team level with Mercedes on the all-time race win record in Mexico at three race wins.

Chasing the record down and the P2 spot in the constructors Leclerc will need to be quick on his feet exactly how he was in Japan.

While there was uncertainty in the Mercedes camp, Leclerc was linked with the Brackley-based outfit on many occasions. However, Leclerc’s heart lies with Ferrari, and he wants to be a champion with the Italian team. Now, as the two teams fight for the P2 spot in the championship, the focus lies on maximizing the points and beating the other team while doing so. The Monegasque did exactly that during the Japanese GP and loved making Mercedes look ridiculous during the race on Suzuka.

Leclerc addressed his daring move on Geoerge Russell to take the P4 spot in the race. Speaking about the move to the media, Leclerc took a subtle dig at Mercedes as well.

Leclerc admitted, “Hamilton was going fast and pushing hard. I expected the Mercedes to play as a team, so I knew I had little time and I had to risk a bit to pass Russell and in the end, it was a good overtaking.”
