(I understand what you're saying, but it just struck me completely funny!)
Love you man!

No disrespect either, Leclerc was definitely not born wealthy. Just because one lives in monaco doesn't mean they are rich, there's fishermen, maids, etc living there... His mom is a hairdresser (not a fancy salon either), I forget what his dad did but he spent all he had making do with Karting etc and it was shoestring budgets... Was definitely not a rich kid... And the dad passed away when Leclerc was in F2, never saw him in a Ferrari... I mean NOW he's doing FINE ;-)
Rosberg was not on the same boat, he was wealthy...
I agree Leclerc doesn't get a break with Ferrari. There are several talented drivers up there that to me are worthy of WC, and it's really all about the car that year. Look at mighty Hamilton being passed by Alonso, Look at Alonso finally showing what he used to do now that he is in a decent car, and Ferrari.... is a curse... It killed Alesi's career, Alonso's career, Vettel's legacy, may well do Leclerc. I do have some hope because Vasseur is not italian and is very down to earth. If they let him work they'll do OK. But this season is over already.
