once led Verstappen html by 234 points, and now is as much as 49 points behind. Leclerc has withdrawn from the championship competition. Regarding the Monegasque's performance of driving high but slowing down this season, former F1 world champion Villeneuve openly questioned Leclerc in an interview with the media. Due to his failure to stop the loss in time on the track, coupled with the poor performance Pole position conversion rate, he does not have the strength to compete for the driver's championship this season.

When asked what he thought of Leclerc's performance so far, Villeneuve questioned the 24-year-old's performance on track. Villeneuve said: "Although Leclerc is very fast, he still makes some mistakes. For example, at Imola, an operating error cost him the chance to get on the podium. Now We know that he ran very fast and aggressively in qualifying, but was very unstable in the race. "

Indeed, in the 9 races that have ended this season, Leclerc has won 6 of them strongly. The pole position is impressive enough, considering that Verstappen has only achieved pole position in two races so far this season.

But unfortunately, Leclerc was a "stop" in qualifying, but often became a "bug" in the race. Looking back at the Monegasque's career, in his previous 15 pole positions, he has only successfully converted the pole position into the final championship 4 times, and so far, all the station championships Leclerc has won have been pole to win.

Compared with Leclerc, who has only won 4 race championships in 15 pole positions, Verstappen has also achieved 15 pole positions in his current career, but there have been as many as 11 pole to wins, successfully taking the pole position.

What's more, Verstappen has won 26 race championships in his career, which means that Dutch driver has 15 race championships that were not won by starting from non-pole position, and there have been 4 times this season ( Saudi Arabia , Miami, Spain, Azerbaijan ).

was unable to successfully convert pole position into the final championship. Leclerc was indeed too bad in this aspect. Especially when Verstappen overtook him in the standings, the Monegasque still did not give a strong response, but watched helplessly as the points gap between the two widened. While Verstappen won six of the first nine races, Leclerc was still struggling between qualifying and the race. It can be said that there is no suspense for the F1 driver's championship this season.
