He was in Ferrari with Prost and Mansell: now he’s stern with Charles Leclerc
The judgment comes from someone who knows Maranello well, and it is harsh.
Ferrari without someone to lead it out of trouble, and Charles Leclerc fast and good, but without the makings of a leader. This is the very blunt assessment given on the current state of the Cavallino by a driver who has been around Maranello and Fiorano for many years. He is Gianni Morbidelli, test driver in the years of Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost and the one who also took the latter’s place after the famous dismissal at the end of 1991.
Interviewed by AutoMoto.it, Morbidelli spoke clearly about Ferrari’s problems: “I see a team without a rudder and a helmsman to take it out of the shallows. It’s not easy because Ferrari is a difficult entity for those on the outside to understand. It is not so easy to say take this, move that, do that other. You have everyone’s eyes on you and that is bad. Then about the drivers little to say. They are two good guys, fast, among the fastest I would say. Leclerc has that extra something in qualifying that makes the difference.”
Just about the latter, however, there is an important clarification from Morbidelli: “For me beyond the skill, which I don’t dispute and indeed I must say I like both of them, Leclerc lacks personality, cue. He has to be a leader but after five seasons he is still there arguing with the engineers, he doesn’t know whether to stay out or change tires, he complains over the radio about his teammate if he overtakes him, if he makes different strategies.”
“A leader those things he overcomes, he doesn’t give a damn. Does Sainz pass you? Who cares, think about your own, about the race. It’s you in the car, you have to be the one to tell the pit box the track conditions, if you feel like staying out or you have to come back in. And then you have to be a team player. Here, all these things Schumacher had, Prost had them too but he was on a collision course with Fiorio. So, I promote Leclerc on driving and speed with a lot of talent, on the rest there is still a lot to do to get to the top,” Morbidelli added.
Finally, the driver from Pesaro had his say on Leclerc’s future, calming those who fear he may leave Maranello in the future. “But where do you want him to go? Here the contracts are annual, of teams that win less and less and moreover full for the future, he can only stay there and win with Ferrari,” Morbidelli assured.

The bronze medal at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged her up
This is it. Italy è is ready to start on the road to another possible dream, which is to win the Davis Cup again. The first obstacle è represented by the hostile Argentina (absolutely not to be underestimated). The Azzurri are betting, of course, on world No. 1 Sinner but there’è great confidence also in Musetti who arrived in Malaga in great form.
The blue number 2 è has been the protagonist of a heavenly season. The bronze at the Olympics and the semifinals at Wimbledon have charged him up. Now he è ready to be an absolute protagonist in the Davis Cup: “I arrive with a different maturity at all levels”, his clear words to Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I’m ready to take more responsibility and have a more central, more important part than 12 months ago. There will be a lot of excitement, a lot of adrenaline, and I have a lot of desire to experience the competition”, the commentary of Musetti himself, who arrived in Malaga in excellent physical condition, having had some time to rest after Paris-Bercy.
Clearly, with such a motivated Musetti, è much can be expected from Italy. Sinner è an absolute guarantee but, to make it all the way, the help of all the members of the blue team led by captain Volandri is needed. There’s a strong desire to accomplish another feat and return to celebrate, all together.

Well Golden State, black crisis for Philadelphia
So many contests in the NBA night. With its back against the wall, Milwaukee finds the strength to fight back and take home a crucial victory in the match with Chicago (122-106 the final). Race dominated by Antetokounmpo who finished with an impressive 41 points on the scoreboard, including 25 in a surreal third period, with also eight assists and nine rebounds.
Thanks to this success, the Bucks record rises to six wins and nine losses. After losing the unbeaten streak to Boston, Cleveland returned to success: 128-100 over New Orleans. Excellent performance by Jerome (29 points). The record of the Cavs è the best in the NBA with 16 wins and only one loss (suffered, precisely, against the Celtics).
Most delicate moment for Philadelphia, which continues to sink. The 76ers also surrendered in Memphis (117-111 the final), collecting their 12th defeat of the season (only two wins). A strong showing by Embiid (35 points and 11 rebounds) wasn’t enough to bring a smile back to the interior of a team in total crisis.
As for the other games, OKC folds Portland (109-99) while Houston gets rid of Indiana (130-113) rather easily. New York wins the challenge with Phoenix (138-122) while Golden State prevails against Atlanta: 120-97 the final for the Warriors with 23 points by Curry. Nice success, finally, of the LA Clippers against Orlando (104-93).

Ferrari è currently second at -36 from McLaren
.
The Las Vegas GP takes the stage. A new opportunity, for Ferrari, to try to get even closer to McLaren, currently leader in the constructors’ standings with 593 points, 36 more than the Cavallino. The circuit would seem to favor the Rossa, although Sainz points out an important detail.
“Ferrari competitive? Looking at the track I would say sì, Ferrari should be competitive or at least should be able to fight but when we see that tire temperatures rise, then I would say no”, the clear words of Sainz reported by Marca.
The Cavallino driver knows that in order to take home the Constructors’ World Championship title, he needs “help” from McLaren: “I think we are close. But at the same time, we also need McLaren to make some mistakes, becauseé, if they don’t make any mistakes from here to the end, in case we have to win all the time and we and they come second in every race, I think McLaren will probably still be able to keep the title”.
Sainz, in addition to trying to win another GP before ending his adventure with the Cavallino, wants to try to help the team win the constructors world championship: “I would like to win the championship for Ferrari this year. And sì, I think it would be a great way to end the season”.
