Where does the hate come from? Is it his personality? Driving style? Ferrari?

For me, the casual fan, I think he is an exciting young racer for one of the storied constructors in F1. Seems pretty level headed and respectful in interviews too.

This actually reminds me of another accident-prone driver... I forgot how name... It starts with Romain and ends with Grosjean... He's the one that blamed losing control on being hot in the back, right? Lol. Lecrash to Haas confirmed

he already apologized but ok Leclerc is butt-numb.. lets see whats next on the way msk340i..

this is getting funny unfortunately ...

Comedy is tragedy plus time and Ferrari's tragedy has been going on since 2008. That's plenty of time for it to become comedic 😔

Maybe Vettel will beat Leclerc to Haas.
A couple of quote from an interview with Steiner yesterday:
“He’s a four-time world champion," said Steiner. "Does he want to come to a smaller team? What does he want to do in life? I don’t know.

“If he wants to do something, for sure, we’ve got a good relationship".

2008... Oh no! trailing fuel pipe comes to mind behind Felipe's Ferrari,if he just would have checked that mirror like Schumi always did and got that right then it wouldn't have mattered what Glock did in the Brazilian..

Yes my friend I know , and I saw what was going on ..
MAX damaged his end plate from his front wing by going too crazy over the curbs in lap 50 . He was pushing it really (too) hard in the turns to make the gap with Lewis smaller .
But even before he got the damage , he was losing it from Lewis .
Lewis and Bottas were 13 km/h faster on the straights , that's like winning a sea of time !
Let us not forget : Lewis drove 6 full seconds away from MAX in only 5 laps !

Like I said , the Mercs are a lot faster on the straights ...
Think Red Bull needs the Ferrari Jet-Mode from last year !
Hard to believe what we saw last year : Ferrari was even faster than the Mercs , that's what we saw in Monza and Spa on the straights ...
Lewis said at that moment , this looks like a Jet-Mode .
Yes guys ...The word "Jet-Mode" came from Lewis ..

Won't be easy for Red Bull to close the (huge) gap ....
MAX said : I saw enough ! He is already worried and he's getting impatient already by the lack of power , but the balance of the car is pretty good .

Mate . Are you surprised by this fact ?

I'm not , because the RP20 runs with the '19 Merc engine .

So Lewis first said 'jet-mode and what does he call the t/s advantage of the Merc now It's come out the blue the fresh Merc power and we don't know from when and where and also the gearbox sensors were rectified after commenting to media it was next to impossible.

i certainly believe our Belgian friend can telepathically ask Christian Horner or Max to smell Merc's to know if they smell like a fruit juice..

its from last week.. thought Binotto d explain the Vettel situation but not much.. actually maybe Vettel leaving Ferrari ll be a better choice for him anyway.. i hope Ferrari wont be a midfield team..

They won't be a midfield team because they will be backmarkers 😂

I'm sure in that moment Mattia would strangle Leclerc for that L driver stunt but has to be seen as a cool collective boss or the drivers would be at each other. If I was the boss I'd take him to a quiet place and ask for an explanation of his action in that moment and if not satisfied I'd act. It doesn't matter if he won 3 gp's last year, including Monza,has contract, if he can't gel with teammate then he's out and someone else is in.

sounds harsh my friend and no talk for Vettel at all not for this race but for one of the previous races?

Harsh may be to some, it's not just the other driver but all the personel involved that had enough of the moment of madness my friend. Previous incidents are taken on merit and have passed but that was then and the string has to come to an end somewhere.
