“The third in four races?” Charles Leclerc He himself was surprised when our colleagues at Canal+ told him that his third place in Spielberg was his third podium in the last four rounds of the championship. Laurent Dupin, however, made no mistake: the Monegasque, second in Monaco, then third in Barcelona and Spielberg, only missed the top 3 in Canada (5th) in the last month.

Became the strong man behind the McLaren, Charles Leclerc took the opportunity to reach a symbolic milestone: 1 points with Ferrari. He is officially the driver who has collected the most points for the Team (1), after overtaking his former teammate Sebastian Vettel (1) at the start of the year. While this record is biased by the current scale, which came into effect in 400 and is much more remunerative than the previous ones, it nevertheless shows to what extent Charles Leclerc is gradually entering the history of Ferrari.

Already fourth in the number of Grand Prix with Ferrari

With 137 starts in red, he is already the fourth most capped driver of the Scuderia and will soon overtake Felipe Massa (139) and Kimi Räikkönen (151), while Michael Schumacher (180) is also within reach. The German, however, remains a good distance behind in terms of the number of victories with Ferrari (72), a ranking in which Charles Leclerc (8) is only 9th, in the wake of Barrichello (9), Räikkönen (10), Massa, Alonso (11), Ascari (13) and Vettel (14).

With 47 podiums already on the books with his beloved team, Charles Leclerc has overtaken Fernando Alonso (44) and is threatening the joint second place held by Rubens Barrichello and Sebastian Vettel (55), behind the untouchable Red Baron (116). The next step is to do better than Kimi Räikkönen and his 52 podiums.

To definitively enter Ferrari history, however, there is only one solution open to Charles Leclerc: to become the Scuderia's tenth world champion in Formula 1. It has triumphed fifteen times thanks to Alberto Ascari (1952, 1953), Juan Manuel Fangio (1956), Mike Hawthorn (1958), Phil Hill (1961), John Surtees (1964), Niki Lauda (1975, 1977), Jody Scheckter (1979), Michael Schumacher (2000 to 2004) and Kimi Räikkönen (2007). After eighteen years of drought, the tifosi are impatiently waiting for their prince to become king.

Funny comments when you know that the points scored have changed over the years and the number of annual Grand Prix too! No value to this kind of useless stats, like the kilometers covered in the lead etc ... There may be other more interesting information!

A somewhat useless statistic: more points than Schumacher (who had shorter seasons) but no World Champion title compared to the German's 5 consecutive titles between 2000 and 2004. A statistic that will quickly be forgotten in a few years, we will only remember the number of his victories and his possible World Champion title(s)!
