Charles Leclerc enjoying the view

Karting competitors, child prodigies, expectations of slugging it out between the two in F1, hopeful for many wins when getting that Ferarri seat, had a sniff of combat with Max early 2022 laced with championship hopes, the list goes on and on.

It must be nothing but painful and depressing, standing at that gate and seeing Max take another checkbox on his scorecard. Two (and a third on the way) world championships in the bag, record breaking stats.

I'm imagining this of course but you could almost hear his thoughts: "this is not how it was supposed to be..."

Truly heartbreaking for Charles.
