He tries to push to overcome the issues of the car and that's it.deadhead wrote: ↑20 Jul 2024, 13:56Yes, Barcelona, like always, showed how things stand currently. I really wish they would start doing winter testing there again
As far as LEC I agree but still being so far off the pace is not normal and his attitude isn’t really exemplary if that is indeed the reason behind his performance.
He is completely done. He thought he was going to fight for the WDC with the Spain upgrades, but the car became slower instead of faster which means the season was over.
7 years of his career completely wasted. Only 6 wins, which is embarrassing for a driver of his talent. A complete disaster
Not all drivers are the same, while on some level most drivers will believe they are good enough to win a championship, the truth is there are likely only 2/3/4 who deep down TRULY believe they are good enough, I feel Leclerc is one of those that truly believes and who is now simply fed up with never having the tools with which to try and make it happen.
For me he feels let down and is in the what's the point phase.
I understand some will argue that no matter the tools/car a driver should always maximise the possible result, but I also understand why a frustrated driver like Leclerc wouldn't, some drivers are just different and expect more, assuming he's truly fed up, for me he's not the only driver with a "what's the point" trait, I feel Hamilton himself has exhibited that exact same trait over the past nearly 3 years because of a car that wasn't good enough.
