Charles Leclerc - Ferrari
While gearing up for the Australian Grand Prix, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc's performance in Practice 1 and 2 looked promising, and landed Leclerc in P7 for qualifying, meaning he's 7th on the starting grid for the race. This position was very short lived after Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll made contact with Leclerc's rear right wheel, causing him to spin out into the gravel on the third turn of lap 1 resulting in a DNF (did not finish). Fast forward to the Azerbaijan GP, where the Ferrari driver was doing phenominal, finishing podium on Practice 1, Qualifying, the new-to-this season Sprint Shootout, the Sprint, and finishing P3 Overall in the Grand Prix. Leclerc's performance in Australia compared to Azerbaijan is night and day, and it seems Ferrari had the right idea with the strategy they executed for Charles.
