Let’s see their last 10 race results too, no? (in races that both finished)

Leclerc 9, 7, 4, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 4, 2 (average 4.1)
Sainz 10, 8, 3, 1, 6, 4, 6, 18, 3, 1 (average 6.0)

Do your research beforehand 😉

Thank you, well said!

Hey “smart ass” winning a championship is not abaut who qualify better. It means nothing if you are quick over one lap when you race for 50-60 laps during grand prix.
Charles is lacking consistency and that is a period.
Do your research and than discus!

F1 fans have a shocking amount of recency bias. Every race the opinions change. If Leclerc wins the next race in Japan with Hamilton on the podium, we will hear that Ferrari made the right choice and Hamilton outperformed the Mercedes tractor.

I consider myself a neutral, I like both drivers and I think both are very capable and have their own strengths, and I celebrated the Melbourne 1-2 just like I celebrated the Bahrain 1-2 from 2 years ago. However, it is pretty clear that the media and most fans prefer Sainz and it is evident both in the articles that we see from F1 news outlets as well as the comments of fans in social media. For this reason we will always hear that “Leclerc is fast but not consistent, makes too many mistakes, very overrated” and “Sainz is just as fast and more consistent, very underrated”. I think I have already read 5 or 6 articles saying that Ferrari fired the wrong driver.

There is, of course, the existing “hate” that some fans have for Leclerc because he beat fan favourite Vettel and forced him out of Ferrari, and now that he is going against another fan favourite in Sainz, it will be a repeat of it. Leclerc is considered the spoilt golden boy while Sainz is considered the underdog, so 2 good races by Sainz are enough to forget 10 good races by Leclerc. This is why I have stopped reading F1 content in social media, the amount of recency bias (and the immaturity of the comments) pisses me off.

Mind showing me the qualifying positions of each Ferrari driver in their last 10 races?

Let me spare you the trouble:
Leclerc 4, 5, 1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 5 (average 2.5)
Sainz 1, 6, 12, 4, 2, 8, 2, 16, 4, 2 (average 5.7)

Shocking how the inconsistent “singing champion” is actually more consistent than the “only consistent racer” we supposedly have!

I like Carlos a lot, I would love to see competitive Ferrari season with him as one of the drivers. He also had a great race and deserves all the praise and all TPs calling him with offers.

The thing that pisses me off, somehow the media is not able to praise one of the drivers on its own merit, without putting down the other. This works both ways, when Leclerc is doing great and Sainz is blamed for not being at his pace or lacking in speed.

Consistency my friend, consistency is lacking our singing champion!
You cant go and compete agains Max with an argument that your weekend was not good…
Have you sèen his face expression after the race how he looked frustrated from himself?

Give a better arrangement idiot! Or your shallow observation does not see the whole picture.
Dont get me wrong I have been a Ferrari fan for 26 years and seeing the tram loosing strike is tough.

Don’t waste your time with some stupid guys!
