Ferrari needs to get its house in order because the team is capitulating yet again. A horror call in q1 to not keep Leclerc out on track pretty much destroyed his weekend where the Monegasque driver had finished FP3 with the fastest time.

But then, if for a while we leave that aside and delve deeper then we see that somewhere Leclerc does have himself to blame as well.

It's not the first time his qualifying has been compromised. He smashed the car against the wall in Baku as well when he seemed to be in a league of his own and even in Monaco if he hadn't locked up on his fastest lap in q1 he might not have found himself in that situation.

The race was just a case study of a young driver desperate to make amends for a bad qualifying and just being too daredevil too soon. This just shows that Leclerc still needs some time to be groomed and to grow.

The Monegasque is a rapid driver for sure but he's still working on getting that consistency at the sharp end of the grid.
