Charles Leclerc has revealed the biggest lesson he has been able to learn fromꦚ Sebastian Vettel from their time together as teammates so far at Ferrari in 2019.

Leclerc stepped up to a Ferrari race seat for just his second season in F1 after impressing through his ꧟rookie season with Sauber, and has regularly matched Vettel for pace throughout the opening 12 rounds of 2019. Vettel sits 24 points clear of Leclerc in the drivers' championship, out-podiuming his young teammate 6-5.

Asked what he had learned from Vettel during their first half-season as teammates, Leclerc identified the four-time world champion's precision as being one 🎃of his b🎐iggest strengths.

"I think the way he is so precise with everything he does with the c💯ar," Leclerc said.

"I think this is something that I noticed strai😼ghtaway whenever I listened to him for the first time during a post-ses⛦sion meeting.

"On that, I 🦩still think I have some im♋provements to do."

Leclerc has quickly adjusted to life with Ferrari despite conceding the size a꧒nd scale of the team took some getting used to, leavಞing the Monegasque youngster content w✱ith his start to 2019.

"I’m happy how ไthe first half of the season wenไt on my side. I’ve grown a lot as a driver," Leclerc said.

"Obviously there have been a few mistakes from which I’ve learned from. At the beginning of the season, I think one of my issue꧑s was the qualifying pace. I was struggling in qualifying, I did quite a lot of efꦫfort in it, and I think since a few races ago now, it has got quite a lot better.

"I think the race pace was quite strong fro🀅m the beginning. There are definitely some things I can still improve on, and this will be like this until the end of my career, you can always improve.

"But I think in terms of setup, I can still improve. This will come with experience, but I also need to try andཧ understand even more the car, and try to lead the engineers i♚n the right direction even better."
