Charles Leclerc’s performance at the recent Monaco GP has been simply heartbreaking. The Monegasque was leading in the standings prior to the race in Monaco. Leclerc also started the race from pole position but he failed to make full use of it as he could not avoid dropping out of the lead and a subsequent falling off the podium.
Former Formula 1 driver Johnny Herbert recently talked about Leclerc’s poor show at the Monaco Grand Prix. Herbert thinks that Leclerc possesses the required patience and courage to overcome the Monaco disaster and refocus on the title hunt.
“I hope they travel to Azerbaijan in a positive mood,” Herbert said as per Motorsport.com.
“Last year Charles was on pole position and we know that their car has become a serious blow compared to last season,” the former British driver further added.
Herbert urged Leclerc to forget the disappointing result at Monaco. Herbert feels that in terms of tactical acumen Ferrari did falter at the Monaco GP. According to Herbert, the Ferrari driver is a powerful guy with a strong mind and that is exactly why he at times pulls off intelligent tricks.
“I think the Grand Prix in Azerbaijan is the ideal place for Ferrari to win again. It seemed to come his way in the last two races, but then he got hit with bad luck. I’m looking forward to seeing how strong they are going to come out, but I think they’ll get back on track,” Herbert explained.
But the 57-year-old former Formula One driver feels that a bit of luck will surely help Leclerc to dominate the Formula One circuit.
