    Fully agree with your post except for the last sentence.

    He is extremely well entrenched and I fully believe he will prevail over Sir Loulou this year.

    I hope Leclerc prevails at Ferrari, because he is more their future than the other guy, IMO.

    Yes given his age thats utterly obvious at this point. LH was never brought in to replace him but to inspire a different atmosphere and it worked. Charles drove better last year knowing he had a very different team-mate for this year. Together with a good car hopefully Ferrari can win. Thats all that matters. Social media does not matter but winning does. Social media does not win races. The focus some here have on that is ridiculous. Results!

    I just hope this year they don't make some really dumb tire choices. Give the guys a chance to win!

    If social media is inconsequential why did Ferrari write the big check? IMO his compensation is ridiculous.

    How many times have we heard this about the rich? Its crazy how many movie stars, entertainers, athletes use their leverage to get ridiculous checks.

    Agreed.

    If the sheep fall for it they might as well exploit it for all it’s worth.

    Great - wrote a check based on performance and his past results and winning mentality as well. Facejoke numbers dont wear racing suits and sit on the grid.

    The assumption included all items surrounding LH but he still needs to get competent results or the press on this will be overtly negative.

    Charles is over paid as well. They paid Carlos about half for similar result to Charles. Equally as egregious!! Call the Board LOL. I will have the jet fueled for you!

    Carlos results are not similar, not even close......50 or 60 points in such a tight championship mean several positions behind
