F1: Top ten performances of the season so far

#2 Charles Leclerc in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix

In Baku, Charles Leclerc began his race in 13th and drove a race with an aplomb that transcended well beyond someone his age. While the well-experienced drivers around him were making mistakes, the Monegasque racer put his head down and ensured his team some well-earned points.

Azerbaijan Grand Prix weekend was the first during which Charles had managed to qualify into Q2 and grab the 14th place for him, which was later improved due to Nico Hulkenberg’s grid penalty. After three mellow performances at the start of the season, the 20-year-old was quick to turn his fortune around and produce a stellar drive.

Leclerc has since finished a race in the points four times and only failed to do so when he retired, which no doubt was helped by the confidence he gained in Baku.
