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.

Which is exactly I think Ferrari made a huge mistake getting Hammy and should part ways with him most rikki tik... to give Charles some room at the team. If they got a number 2 without the baggage (good or bad) it might help.
I think Hammy spends more time on the west coast USA with that crowd and with his 'fashion' that he puts on display at every race.
Every time I see him 'pull up' on his motorcycle, I think of this classic scene from
The Italian Job
