Charles Leclerc’s weekend unraveled dramatically, as he fell from a front‑row start to finish eighth in Sunday’s race. The drop sparked questions about the Ferrari driver’s form and what might be hindering his performance.
Former driver Jolyon Palmer attributes the setback primarily to the return of Lewis Hamilton to peak condition. Palmer notes that Hamilton’s consistency this season suggests his early results were no fluke, and that his strong pace now makes it harder for Leclerc to compete at the front. He hints that addressing a few underlying issues will be essential for the Monegasque to regain his rhythm.
