Charles Leclerc is on its way to victory in Monza used some sharp maneuvers, for which, however, he was not punished. For a sharp maneuver against Hamilton in the 23rd round he received only a reprimand. For Jacques Villeneuve it was an obvious political decision here. “It’s hard to tell this here because if you tell the truth, then everyone immediately says ‘Oh, you’re an idiot! Why do you say that, because we love just that '”, he said in a conversation with colleagues from Motorsport-magazine.com, though at first with the concern of expressing it here in Italy opinion, which is unpopular here. A Canadian he spoke without a hair on his tongue — even in the case of the new typhoid hero Leclerc.
Just because it is now Leclerc after the first victory in They connect on the cloud of fame and success, this does not mean that the young man is automatically free from mistakes. “Now you have to rate him just like any other racer. And this Sunday he made Magnussen. That's the whole truth,”Is critical Villeneuve to a two-time winner. “He sent Lewis to the grass in the 23rd round.Leclerc himself, however, was of the opinion that he was Hamilton left enough space. In addition to this campaign, he is young Monachan after a shortcut he drove through another chicane, then again sharply defended his position against Hamilton. "He shortened the second chicane and was significantly longer than Hamilton after the exit than at the entrance. And there was no investigation here."
Yes it is Leclerc taken away without punishment, exists according to Villeneuve just one reason. “When he made this move in front of another chicane, in the most dangerous place, he should have received a penalty. If it were on another track or if another racer was involved, then a penalty would certainly be imposed.“Here Villeneuve blows into the same horn as Toto wolff, team boss Mercedes Benz. He himself thinks he had Leclerc at race commissioners home field advantage. Personally, he believes that v Monza impossible to punish a racer Ferrari. "Imagine knowing he could take a risk. So it was played at the border and it worked well.”In addition to criticism Villeneuve for Leclerc he also finds words of praise that are only in his own second season located at the level of the best. “He raced superbly. He was very strong and we must not forget that he is only 21 years old. By the end of the race, he had mastered his tires, all of which was good. The outcome of the race was also good."
Villeneuve however, he is also critical of the Commissioners' actions, as a warning in the form of black and white flags it is not the right path for him. “I don’t like this black and white flag because it’s like giving someone a joker." Canadian expresses fear that the racers will be this one yellow card used to make it at controversial maneuvers taken away without penalty. “It’s like letting you do a stupid thing in a race. And then the abuse will soon begin. Now it depends on whether the yellow card will be carried over to the next race as well. Then the racer no longer has a chance to repeat the stupidity on the track."
