No. I am talking about my personal feeling. From seeing Charles after Silverstone, after Hungary and during Brazil.
I believe Charles and Carlos want to be with Ferrari till they retire!
I like Charles a great deal, but he needs to cut down on his mistakes.

You are on the money! He perhaps needs to know he might be the driver told to move over if he can't get it right. Three top teams with 6 top drivers makes it important as never before to be on the money the whole race. And there are a few hopefuls also in that top 10 during the races just waiting for a mistake up front to move up!
Leclerc is a faster driver than Sainz. Even all the team principles rated him as the second best driver after Verstappen. They put Sainz at 7th.
Both Verstappen and Sainz have more years of experience in F1 compared to Leclerc. Verstappen used to make a mistakes as well but improved with more experience.
However, any driver could be asked to move over if their race is compromised or they're not fast enough and the other driver has a better chance to score more points.

I couldn't agree more . Schumy's 3 seasons @ Merc proved that for sure!

Bless you, I just laughed so hard. Lewis being a GOAT?You left out Lewis with Merc becoming the GOAT of F-1
Maybe you missed him being ruined by Russel in his first year at Merc (which btw was predicted by many, me included).
Lewis is the biggest fraud of F1 , a marketing product. Fast, sure , able, of course, GOAT? LOL no.
And do we want to remember what you were calling Russel and how you were talking bout him last year? Nah... we really don't do we?

OK you win! Russell for sure did Lewis in! As far as Lewis being a marketing product you again are right! 7 WDCs is for sure right up there.
he only got to 7 by luck, without having any challenges from other teams or team mates....apart from 2014, 15 and 16 when Nico was there....we all know that Bottas was just a dedicated #2 driver ONLY to help Luise
he only really won 2 championships (2014 and 2015) on merit adn one by luck in 2008 when he passed Glock in the last lap; that WDC really should have been Felipe's
2017, 18, 19 and 20 he only won with the help of the team making him a clear #1 and of course with no other real threat from other teams
when you have a rocket of a car with NO other competion and a dedicated #2 driver to help/back you up....of course you're gonna win multiple champioships
so NO, he is NOT a true GOAT.....Schumi on the other hand i DO consider a true GOAT
After all is said and done it took Masi; not another driver to hold Sr Lewis back from that #8 win. Also being cursed so to speak with a top car should not be held against a drivers success. Schumy @ Merc without Rubens 3 yrs. and ZERO wins! A true user! Oh Rubens got paid!
Not really. It took the stupidity of the Mercedes pitwalls. They only had to pit the majestic, GOAT (lol) one, for a set of fresh tyres.
He had the faster car so he would be right behind Max, and once the race resumed he would quite easily overtake Max.
HOWEVER Merc , spoiled brats as they were, thought they could politiked their way into finishing the race behind the safety car.
And this is why every single racing fan, apart from Lewis/Merc fan (that btw includes you) went bonkers and screaming their lungs off when they saw that epic overtake and Toto protesting like a 6old.
We shall never forget AD2021 ;)

Sr Lewis could not overtake Masi! End of race! Sr Lewis needs just two more seasons without a WDC to match another Schumy record of 3 zeros in a row!!

Something seems to have changed. I saw the new salaries for the coming season neing published and what I immediately noticed was that Ferrari has translated their appreciation for Leclerc in dollars.............and also De Vries starting with a salary that doubles that of Tsunoda.

Gosh that was unexpected. They are trying to keep him sweet.
Forza Jules
Charles @ 36M Carlos @10M !!!! Charles is worth 26 M more than Carlos seems really strange! Both contracts ending in 2024. I'm surprised if Carlos even shows up every race. IMO a pay check for 36 M in one year is for a WDC ! Formula 1 for sure has some strange formulas!
