Charles Leclerc has revealed how he was stunned by observations Lewis Hamilton made about the behaviour of Max Verstappen’s Red
Red Bull dominated the Formula 1 season, winning all but one race and securing their third consecutive Drivers’ Championship, with Max Verstappen responsible for 19 of those wins. Despite Ferrari and Mercedes attempting mid-season changes, they were unable to stop Red Bull’s success. Lewis Hamilton, after closely trailing Verstappen in the United States Grand Prix, acknowledged the RB19’s strengths in higher-speed sections and its ability to manage rear tire degradation. Charles Leclerc also spoke to Hamilton after the Mexican Grand Prix, where Hamilton shared his observations about Red Bull’s dominant car. However, Leclerc, while acknowledging Hamilton’s ability to identify these details from the cockpit, personally prefers to analyze footage from on-board cameras to understand the car’s performance. Ultimately, Leclerc acknowledges the hard work put in by Verstappen and Red Bull to achieve their success and believes his team must do an equally good job to catch up with them.
