The recent victory of Charles Leclerc at the British Grand Prix has given new momentum to his career and the chances in the F1 championship. According to former driver Juan Pablo Montoya, this victory could make the title fight more exciting if Leclerc manages to maintain the consistency shown by his teammate Lewis Hamilton.
Leclerc, who secured his first win of the season in this race, started the race leading and benefited from a safety car prompted by the incident of Max Verstappen of Red Bull, who went off track at the Stowe corner.
The Monegasque driver crossed the finish line under safety car conditions, finishing with George Russell in second place and Lewis Hamilton in third. With this victory, Leclerc now occupies fourth place in the drivers’ standings with 108 points, while Kimi Antonelli leads with 179 points.
Before the success at Silverstone, Leclerc had a difficult start to the season. In the post-race program on _F1 TV_, Montoya reflected on the change in Leclerc’s form, highlighting the importance of data analysis to address performance issues. ‘Once you figure out what’s wrong, the goal is to apply it at each track and gain confidence to compete with the best,’ Montoya stated.
With Hamilton competing at the highest level weekly, Montoya emphasized that if Leclerc achieves this consistency throughout the rest of the season, the title fight promises to be exciting.
