Charles Leclerc: Ferrari's big bet

In recent weeks days are buzzing behind the scenes of the paddock, teams make their last adjustments before the big Australian GP debut this month. But there is an important detail that can not go blank - this fact is precisely the rise of young driver Charles Leclerc, the French driver who made the difference last season in Alfa Romeo is now in Ferrari and has been doing a good job in the preseason in Barcelona.
Leclerc knows he can now do much more in the top-end teams of the F-1, he knows that depending on how his performance on the track can get to his first world title - of course that's his goal and he'll fight for even knowing that Ferrari's priority is Vettel's fifth title this year ... But it's worth remembering that the factor independence is the watchword in the management of Ferrari today-there is no loophole for the famous absolute privilege of the main driver as it was common in the past.
At the same time the young French promise may surprise, it may favor Vettel. How is this explained? What can favor the German driver is precisely the pressure factor - now for example in the pre-season disputed in Barcelona Leclerc began doing a good job on the Catalan circuit.
The race for the title this year is even more fierce between Ferrari and Mercedes. The two teams have almost the same level of competition-proof of this was the millimeter difference between Hamilton and Vettel on the fourth day of testing in the preseason in Barcelona on Friday.
In the internal race between drivers Vettel takes advantage by having more experience and knowing how to handle in an environment of much pressure for positive results. It is clear that Leclerc has a chance to even win his first team title - it will depend on his results on the track and also if he can overcome his teammate, no less than four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel.
