Piero Ferrari has faith in Charles Leclerc and his potential to improve – but admits the Monegasque is no Max Verstappen.
The Dutchman has been improving ever since he made his Formula 1 debut as a teenager and first emerged as a true title contender in that 2021 brawl with Lewis Hamilton. Since winning that, it has become clear that Verstappen now sets the standard for all his rivals to try to match.
Piero, son of the legendary Enzo Ferrari and vice chairman of the eponymous car brand, is also wary that Red Bull star Verstappen is top dog on the F1 grid. "He is incredibly fast. He was already driving in F1 when he didn't even have a driver's license in his possession," said the Italian.
