Ex-Haas team principal Guenther Steiner thinks it might be time for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Charles Leclerc to seek a new challenge due to Ferrari’s ꩲfailure to give him a title-contending F1 car.

Ferrari have been the biggest disappointment of the 2025 F1 season, scoring just one🐈 podium i🀅n the opening seven rounds.

A lot was expected of Ferrari after they narrowly missed out on the 2024 F1 constructors’ championship to McLaren.

Their strong end to last year, combined with the signing of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton, meant expectatio🍨ns were high going into the season.

However, with Ferrari significantly off the pace set by ꧙McLar💯en, it looks like Hamilton and Leclerc will have to wait until 2026 to fight for the title.

Leclerc has been at 𝄹Ferra🀅ri since 2019 after replacing Kimi Raikkonen.

While he’s made the team his own by out-performing Sebas🦄tian Vettel and Carlos Sainz, Ferrari have failed to give him the tools 🅠to fight for an F1 world championship for an entire season.

In 2022, 🐠Ferrari had a car comparable to Red Bull’s for the first half of the season, but poor reliability and strateg💯y cost Leclerc several race victories.

A technical directive for the Belgian Grand Prix curtailed Ferrari’s season, and they’ve struggled to♏ recover since.

2024 was arguably Leclerc’s💧 beཧst season to date, particularly in terms of consistency.

However, Ferrari rarely had the quickest car despite havi🏅ng won five races.

Steiner suggests Leclerc should leave

Steiner, who was 🌄Haas boss between 2016 and 2023, thinks Leclerc could benefit from a team swap.

The Austrian cited Haಌmilton’s deꦏcision to leave Mercedes to Ferrari.

But Steiner warned that making the incorrect team swiꦏtch, like Fe💯rnando Alonso did on several occasions, could backfire.

“I’ll go gas, he needs a new challenge,” Steiner said on The Red Fla🎐gs podcast.

“I think he’s been there a long time, soꦰmetimes change is good like Lewis left Mercedܫes to go to Ferrari.

“I think Charles, it’s like something new because at some stage everything just beco𝓡mes routine.

“He is not in a position to win a championship, so if he maybe goes 💝somewhere else, maybe he gets lucky, you never know.

“But he could be unluc🅘ky and go to the♛ wrong team like Fernando Alonso did.”
