Charles Leclerc : F1's newest sensation

With just 9 races into the 2018 Formula 1 season, Charles Leclerc has gone from being rookie to the newest sensation in F1. Charle Leclerc's perfomaces with Sauber have caught the paddock's attention. His fight with Fernando Alonso in the Canadian Grand Prix was an absolute jot to watch. The season didn't start of incredibly well for him however he has constantly imporved and made a stunning breakthrough in terms of his results.

His recent performances have been so consistent and good, that they’ve put a question mark on Kimi Raikkonen’s one-year extension with Ferrari. However, having said that with Raikkonen’s current form, a one-year extension with Ferrari and simultaneously a one-year extension for Leclerc at Sauber is not out of the picture.

The last driver who went from rookie to sensation was Max Verstappen. When he first debuted in 2015, he was labelled as a future champion. Leclerc’s unexpected performances has surely challenged all titles previously given to Verstappen. Leclerc has been exceptional in qualifying, making four Q2 and two Q3 appearances.

All in all, Leclerc’s performances in his debut year have been consistent, having retired only once this season in Monaco due to a break failure. An advantage that Leclerc seems to be his maturity and composure. Will he challenge Max Verstappen on track this year? Highly unlikely however in a better car there is no doubt, Leclerc will definitely be fighting for the podium.
