Bottom post of the previous page:

Let's just say Daniel Ricciardo is an unfulfilled talent. At least I think he is.

Regardless, I would've called you a liar if you told me five years ago Danny Ric would be relegated to a reserve.

I wouldn't have believed that five years ago myself.

They both love the same type of car.

Apparently the only thing bigger than his talent was his ego.

No, I think he fulfilled his talent pretty well. Same with Ricciardo if I am honest. He peaked a few years ago but wasn't fast enough to beat his team mates and now it's time to move on.

I feel like Charles Leclerc is an unfulfilled talent at the moment.

I think that goes for both current Ferrari drivers.

Yes. Charles would be more successfull when he drove for RBR or Mercedes.

I think the 2022 Ferrari is a pretty decent car and almost a match for the RBR, I just feel Charles is underperforming in it at the moment.

Because of demotivation i think. Knowing that even when he is performing 100%, his team, Ferrari, is not doing the same.

Disagree. Ferrari have improved massively for 2022, but their drivers not. Take Leclerc, what was he thinking going out on intermediates on a dry track with impending rain? Doesn't make any sense at all. I think he is light in the helmut.

Isn't that just modern day Ferrari being their normal selves?
