There’s certainly his influence behind the Monegasque’s success. Since Bryan Bozzi became his race engineer, Charles Leclerc has secured three victories and several podiums, allowing him to occupy third place in the drivers’ standings. Number 16 is now seventy-nine points behind Max Verstappen, but he has confessed that he doesn’t want to stop believing in the possibility of winning the title.
“As long as the math allows me to, I will keep believing,” declared the Monegasque after his victory in Texas. The performance that led Charles Leclerc to win the Austin GP was full of maturity, a “mega job” as Frederic Vasseur described it in the post-race team radio.
The team radio after the victory
Right after crossing the finish line, Charles Leclerc opened up on the radio with Bryan Bozzi to kick off Ferrari’s celebration.
BB: “That’s my boy, another victory.”
CL: “Yes, yes, yes, let’s go!”
FV: “Mega job, mega, mega, mega.”
CL: “Great job, great.”
BB: “You’re starting to like these starts from fourth position.”
CL: “I think we should start aiming for that. It’s working pretty well.”
In fact, this wasn’t the first time the Monegasque has won after starting from fourth place. It had already happened in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where, after the battle between Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, he managed to take the lead, which then allowed him to secure the victory.
