P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Charles Leclerc has been hailed for his speed throughout his stint in F1 but has been prone to on-track mistakes.
Former F1 driver David Coulthard compared Charles Leclerc to a puppy occasionally making mistakes while pushing his limits on the track. Leclerc has shown impressive speed with 26 pole positions in his seven seasons in the sport, but his errors have been noted. Lando Norris has also faced scrutiny for his mistakes, like weak starts from pole position this year. Coulthard believes that F1 is entering a golden era once top drivers eliminate their minor lapses, with Max Verstappen currently leading the championship race. While Verstappen is seen as more polished, Coulthard sees potential for Norris to refine his skills in the future and expects an exciting final stretch to the season.
