Charles Leclerc has to win all the remaining ten races on the F1 calendar
“Maybe people will think I’m crazy, but when I see the statistics, I know that if I win every race and Max comes second without driving the fastest lap every time, I’ve seen it on Twitter, we can still win the championship,” said Leclerc.
“So now I just have to win all the remaining races. It won’t be easy, but that’s the spirit we have to have. Otherwise I can stay at home. What motivates me in F1 is winning, so I will believe in it until the end,” concluded Leclerc.
The next race on the calendar before the summer break of Formula One is the Hungarian Grand Prix this weekend at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród. This is the 38th Formula One race taking place in the Hungaroring.
