Italian former racing driver and the 2012 GP2 Series champion, Davide Valsecchi, has analyzed the performances of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz at Scuderia Ferrari, determining the better of the two according to his opinion.

Davide Valsecchi’s comments
Here are the comments of the former Sky Sport F1 commentator at the end of a detailed comparison between the two Ferrari drivers: “If you’re wondering ‘who is better Carlos Sainz or Charles Leclerc?’, [I’ll tell you, note] I don’t know.” – he admitted.

“I’ll tell you that Charles Leclerc’s talent is dazzling, and his quality in terms of qualifying, and I remind you of the number 23 [pole positions in his career, note], 14th of all time, is something exceptional.” – the Italian former racing driver pointed out.

“On the other hand, we perhaps have a consistency and race management that has continued to improve steadfastly over the years, and again this year [Carlos Sainz, note] has shown us.”

“Let’s remember that we are in the third race of 2024, and Carlos Sainz is looking for a seat for next year: he is forced to put all his best weapons into these early races to secure a high-level seat. The rumors, as of today, say: possible second [driver, note] in Red Bull, so we’re talking about endless podiums and victories; possible driver in Mercedes, one of the top three teams in the championship.” – Davide Valsecchi continued.

“So I say that glory is also being talked about for him [Carlos Sainz, note], and he is showing his best cards. As for Charles Leclerc, instead, let’s hold onto him. The emotions he [Leclerc, note] made us feel at Monza [in 2019, note] were the best in my commentator life, so for him [I feel, note] only affection and esteem. Perhaps he is not as consistent a talent, but he is certainly dazzling, and I like him for that,” concluded Davide Valsecchi in the latest video uploaded to his Youtube channel Valsemotori.
