René Arnoux believes Leclerc’s main weakness right now is mental, with mistakes in Miami, Monaco and Barcelona raising serious questions. Leclerc has shown speed, but Hamilton’s podium run and Barcelona win have changed the pressure inside Ferrari. If Leclerc is no longer Ferrari’s obvious title hope, that changes everything. IGNORING FERRARI ADVICE? Ferrari are reportedly concerned that Leclerc is not fully following the advice being given to help him recover. That is a dangerous place for any driver. When form drops, confidence goes, and the team starts questioning the process, the spiral can become brutal. Leclerc now has to prove this is a bad run — not a bigger Ferrari problem. RUSSELL FUTURE WARNING George Russell is also under pressure at Mercedes. With Kimi Antonelli leading the championship and Lewis Hamilton chasing in the Ferrari, Russell cannot afford to drift. Mercedes may be re-evaluating how Russell and Antonelli race each other, and that puts Russell’s title fight and long-term position under the spotlight. PEREZ WASTED? Sergio Perez is still stuck in a backmarker battle with Cadillac, but his performances are being noticed. He has no points, but he has been dragging more from the car than the standings show. If Williams and Aston Martin are watching, Perez may still have a serious 2027 option. HONDA WON’T QUIT Honda are also trying to calm the noise around Aston Martin’s poor start. The Aston project has been embarrassing at times, but Honda insist they are not giving up on Formula 1. That matters because Aston, Newey, Alonso and Honda all need the same thing now: proof that the project can still be saved.
