Robert Kubica was asked who he would choose for his ideal team. “I’d definitely want
Adrian Newey as engineer and
Max Verstappen. It’s tough to choose, maybe Leclerc but… he’s too nice.” At this point, the Polish driver seems to hesitate before selecting the Ferrari driver precisely because of this aspect of his character.
Charles Leclerc’s kindness is a virtue, although…
“Too nice — it’s a good trait, on a human level. Even on track he’s too nice, in the sense that yes, when it’s time to attack, he does, but then outside the car he’s really kind. He says something because he’s angry, but then immediately walks it back. Maybe also because they pull his ears (surely referring to the press office).”
