I don't think so. the telemetry from F1-tempo doesn't show this. He took this from Vettel who was doing that thing before, and Leclerc started doing this only in 2019.
They're correct, the F1-tempo telemetry actually does this show it if you compare it to Ericsson's. There are a few races where he doesn't do it compared to later years and the amount is typically less than what he did starting from his Ferrari years, but I think you can attribute this to experience and comfort.
Random example from Spa 2018, Leclerc (red) Ericsson (white) and Sainz (yellow)
Anyway I didn't mean to start confusion, but him doing it back then doesn't change my question regarding the car's behaviour
I guess to answer myself, we'll just have to wait and see.
