In the latest episode of the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League, the focus is on Charles Leclerc’s potential to compete for a world championship. Following his victory at the Monaco Grand Prix, Josh Suttill and Ben Anderson join Edd Straw to assess his growth as a driver and the strengths and weaknesses he would bring to a battle for a world championship, whether this year or in the future.
The importance of Leclerc’s victory in Monaco, his development as a driver, and the discrepancy between the number of pole positions (24) and victories (6) are also explored. Additionally, the role of team principal Fred Vasseur in improving Leclerc’s relationship with the team is discussed, as well as the possibility of Ferrari posing a serious challenge to Red Bull in 2024. Looking ahead to 2025, the podcast also examines the impending rivalry between Leclerc and new teammate Lewis Hamilton.
