Charles Leclerc backs new Ferrari chief over policy which may affect his F1 title chances

Charles Leclerc has backed his new boss over the policy of not choosing a number one driver for the 2023 season.

The Monegasque will again be partnered by Carlos Sainz at the Italian team this year. Leclerc is seen as the shining star at Ferrari due to the trust placed in him from such a young age, but his Spanish team-mate has proven that he can provide some real value as well.

Sainz finished 62 points behind Leclerc last year but still managed a race win and nine other podiums despite suffering from some terrible luck – six DNFs due to reliability problems and being taken out by other drivers. Plus, he narrowly got the better of his team-mate in 2021, their first season together.
