Charles Leclerc’s past week has been marked by introspection frustration and fan intrigue as the fallout from Ferrari’s lackluster 2025 Monza performance reverberates. Ferrari’s home at Monza was no happy hunting ground this year with Leclerc finishing fourth notably behind both Red Bulls and McLarens. Speaking to Formula1.com right after the race Leclerc candidly admitted he “couldn’t do much more” blaming issues with the car’s pace and setup and conceding that Red Bull and McLaren were simply out of reach. This echoes the major headline dominating Italian and F1 press: “Ferrari’s home letdown makes a winless 2025 look more likely.”
While Leclerc entered the weekend hopeful Ferrari’s Friday performance—topping the opening practice and staying in the top three during qualifying—the team failed to capitalize with a car setup that never quite clicked. The Race details how Ferrari reused last year’s rear wing to chase qualifying speed but this shift cost them crucial cornering in Monza’s demanding chicanes. Compounded with Friday’s brake balance issues Ferrari’s gamble backfired and expectations for a home podium evaporated. No more significant upgrades will be delivered for the SF-25 this season—a tacit surrendering of championship hopes as Ferrari pivots its remaining resources towards their 2026 car.
In the immediate aftermath fans lit up social channels labeling Leclerc’s talent as “wasted” and replaying what F1 Oversteer called an “amazing unseen Monza moment” in which Leclerc outdrove the car’s limitations yet again. Social media buzz included several viral videos and photos of Leclerc and new teammate Lewis Hamilton greeting fans at Monza with Hamilton’s presence and Leclerc’s evident popularity drawing massive crowds.
Yet behind the PR smiles F1 Oversteer and Scuderia Fans report that Leclerc is privately doubting recent optimistic comments about Ferrari’s prospects. He had previously pinpointed Azerbaijan Singapore and the returning Las Vegas Grands Prix as hopeful venues for a Ferrari win this year but after the Monza blow his confidence has palpably wavered. Ferrari engineers are reportedly unsure if their 2025 technical solutions have even helped Leclerc and Hamilton with ongoing uncertainty clouding the mood in Maranello.
Off track Leclerc was spotted in a high-spirited dash for the Italian national anthem alongside Tsunoda and Verstappen reinforcing his reputation for personable moments even amidst sporting setbacks as shown in Formula1.com’s coverage of Monza’s lighter side. No major business moves or endorsements were confirmed in the past few days but Leclerc’s profile and future are front and center in F1 conversations as Ferrari’s fortunes once again become a central story of the sport. Everything now points to Baku next weekend where Leclerc must balance public encouragement with growing internal doubt as 2025 shows no sign yet of delivering a red resurgence.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
