Leclerc achieved his first F1 grand slam in his career and the first for Ferrari in 12 years. He started the race in pole position and since then went unrivalled for the rest of the race. But the Monagesque was struggling with temper as a kid.

Riccardo Ceccarelli, the head of Formula Medicine saw Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc at a young age. Although Ceccarelli saw Leclerc’s talent at the time, he also recognised that he needed to develop in a number of areas in order to reach the top, namely his anger issues.

“Charles couldn’t handle his anger. That was his weak point,” Ceccarelli says in an interview with Il Foglio. “We worked a lot on that and I think you can see the results. The perfect driver is a seemingly calm person with a killer instinct.”
