The fairytale start of the season for Ferrari man Charles Leclerc has become a complete nightmare. In a space of 13 races, the Italian team turned their championship lead into a deficit. For this unfortunate twist of fate, Ferrari has only themselves to blame.

The poor team strategies and the unreliability of the car are the main causes for concern here. So far, Leclerc’s ill fate has played its part as the Monegasque lost out on a win from a leading position on four separate occasions. Although the poor luck seems to follow the Monegasque on and off track.

During the entire pit stop, the Ferrari man exclaimed, “Oh wait wait wait wait. No no no. NO!!!! You chose the wets, That is definitely the worst strategy ever!”
