Let's talk Monza

Charles Leclerc is considered one of the fastest drivers in Formula 1 — especially over one lap. But has the reputation gotten ahead of the results?

On this episode of Merica F1, we dig into Leclerc’s Ferrari career and one number that jumps off the page: his pole-to-win conversion rate.

With 27 career poles but only 9 victories, Charles has converted just 5 poles into wins — 18.5%. We compare that record with Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa and other proven F1 winners.

Is Ferrari wasting one of the fastest drivers of his generation? Is Leclerc truly an elite Sunday driver? Or have F1 fans been grading Charles on qualifying speed instead of race results?

We’re putting the hype aside and letting the numbers talk.
