Charles Leclerc “never learned as much” as with Sebastian Vettel

For his first season with Ferrari, a bit like that of all the dangers for a young talent, Charles Leclerc did not fail. The Monegasque was able to move up the ladder after his year with Alfa Romeo – Sauber, and thus confirmed all the good things that Maranello thought of him.

Above all, he was able to rise to the challenge in the face of Sebastian Vettel, gradually taking the advantage during the championship, notably with his two victories in Belgium and especially in Italy at Monza. Not without some heated moments on the track, notably in Brazil, with a collision which caused a lot of talk.

And at the moment when Sebastian Vettel and Scuderia Ferrari have announced the end of their joint adventure At the end of the 2020 campaign, Charles Leclerc is the first to thank his illustrious teammate.

“It was a huge honor for me to be your teammate, indicates Leclerc on social networks. We had some tense moments on the track.

Some very good and some that didn't end the way we wanted, but there was always respect, even if it wasn't seen that way from the outside. I have never learned more than with you as a teammate. »

Charles Leclerc will still have to wait before knowing his new teammate for 2021, he who extended his contract with Ferrari until 2024. And thus face an opposition who will want to prove themselves, whatever their identity.
