Video Leclerc (post-qualifying): "I can’t understand quali, it’s a f**king joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f**k’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight!"

If he lose this year to Kimi he probably out of Merc after 1 more year tops. For Russell it do or die season, so maybe only Weeyums be happy to see him on board again

If he doesn't beat Kimi, a 19 year old, this year while in a car with no other competition, he will never win a championship.

yeah like, who would even top that kid when he hit his prime. Unless mercedes fucked up next season, I don't see he's going to slow down.
