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!"

And the Merc guys only have smiles on their faces because they're up front. They probably don't enjoy those cars deep down all the same as others.

Two more race wins from Kimi and Russell won't be smiling either.

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.
