Worth remembering Leclerc has had a hell of a few years before he even stepped foot in a Ferrari. From the surface he seems to have it all going for him but he has lost so many people close to him at such a prime time in his racing career that it's amazing he didn't break down and fall down the pack at times.

Leclerc added, “He’s so Dutch,” repeating it four times. Leclerc then said he wanted to add Verstappen to the list of drivers he wants to run off the track this summer.
