As usual after every Grand Prix, Italian sports journalist and author Leo Turrini, one of Italy’s leading Formula 1 experts, was interviewed by Calciomercato.com to comment on the main events of the race which took place last weekend in France. The F1 expert and Ferrari insider focused in particular on Charles Leclerc, Ferrari and the 2022 F1 world championship fight, making some comparisons with the world of Italian football, given that Calciomercato.com is mainly focused on football topics.
In detail, Leo Turrini defined the Monegasque’s mistake as that of the Inter goalkeeper Stefan Radu in a Bologna – Inter game, which probably cost the Nerazzurri the title last season. And that’s not all, because there was a football comparison for Red Bull too …
Here are his considerations.
Interviewed by Calciomercato.com, Leo Turrini was asked about “what did Leclerc do in France?!? You know the big error made by Inter goalkeeper Stefan Radu in the Bologna game? Here at Castellet, Carletto made a mistake like that. A big one indeed. And immediately publicly admitted it, with an honesty that does him honors”.
Still dwelling on the Monegasque driver’s race in France, he added: “A very bad blow for Ferrari. Charles Leclerc was in front and I’m not sure Max Verstappen had enough pace to overtake him. But I want to add one thing: even the best make mistakes! Carletto is certainly not the Radu of F1 drivers. Even Senna and Schumi have had their share of mistakes during their careers, trust me.”

Leo Turrini then shared his thoughts on the situation of the Maranello team after the first half of the 2022 Formula One championship, with just one round to go until the summer break: “We have to be realistic. Ferrari, understood as a group, including the… drivers, are still missing something. Even the pit stop of Carlos Sainz, who had a great race, wasn’t perfect. Without that mistake from the team, the Spaniard would have been on the podium. Even if he started from the back. The F1-75 is a great car. The rest will come. “
Italian sports journalist then concluded: “Is the world championship over? No, the championship is still long but I don’t see how Verstappen can lose it at this point. What about the Italian football championship? Juventus is as favorite as Red Bull is.”
