With the Formula One championship already beyond them, this is surely no time for a conservative approach from Ferrari. For the sake of the sport, the Scuderia, it must be hoped, will resist a tendency to stifle the instincts of artistry in the form of Charles Leclerc and his dance on a knife-edge with a recalcitrant car.
The inclination at Maranello would probably be to have him play the percentages, to consolidate. Yet instead why not let him have full rein and indulge his aggressive determination such that we can at least enjoy a driver pushing to the very limit? Is it not better to fail gloriously than accept the ignominy of mediocrity?
