Yes, he would, and he'd also spend hours in the sim gathering intel and improving the car bit by bit, getting even more podiums and wins and eventually a WDC.
I can't know for certain, but I don't think Lew keeps the sim team working late very much, if ever.
I've had the same Jean Alesi vibe with Leclerc, too. Ferrari flattered their golden boy with lucrative contracts and number 1 status, but neither he nor the team have what it takes to get him to the WDC finish line. Hell, he's only won 8 races, even though he's widely regarded as one of the fastest of the fast drivers. I think he needs to breathe new air before his career is over, leaving a 'what might have been' as a legacy.
