In seventh speed, at just over 300 km / h, the Suzuka 130R remains a challenge for pilots. Even with the current single-seaters, which have much more aerodynamic efficiency and that allow tracing it with the full throttle. Both at the entrance and at the exit, the speed is almost constant, so this left turn is still a good way to measure the bravest. Charles Leclerc, the man destined to lead the future of Ferrari, left his mark on this legendary curve this Sunday.

The first hit of the Monegasque effect came on lap 13, when it tried to recover positions after an emergency step by pits . In the fight for the fifteenth place, Kimi Raikkonen had meddled, who beat him without blinking inside the 130R.

It was not as spectacular as Fernando Alonso's unforgettable overtaking over Michael Schumacher in 2005, although Leclerc had not yet shown the best of his repertoire. Geniuses, like him, know how to make virtue necessary. And with a facility that calls for amazement.

It all happened in the final leg of the race, when the left rearview mirror of the SF-90 threatened a sudden detachment. Just notice the vibrations, Leclerc began to hold the piece with his right hand. And so he remained, with his left hand on the wheel, during the layout of the 130R, which he completed without apparent difficulties. One of the most spectacular images, without a doubt, of the 2019 World Cup.
