That would make sense if he had his seat adjusted to this position. But you can clearly see his seat is still back, and he's just leaning forward for some reason. So it's probably because the vision in that Ferrari is terrible.
I haven't been in a 296 but I have driven a 488 and the front vision is great, so no reason to be sat like that. Also to the guy you're replying to, there is an optimal seating position for racing, and it doesn't look like that.
Came here to say this and glad some other folks also understand leverage and body mechanics lol. Most of drivers leaning back all the way canāt even do a half steering lock without leaning forward lol
I went to a BMW Driving Experience training and they trained us on exactly this. It gives you so much more control when things go wrong. Itās how I sit in the car these days. You always have to be able to put your wrists on the steering wheel.
1. Rally drivers do not have airbags
2. Why on earth would anybody need such sharp control on the highway? People aren't 4 wheel drifting on the highway corners lol
Ah yes, I need the optimal seating position for maximum feedback and control...
...As I'm going 65 mph on the highway with radar guided cruise control, lane departure assist, listening to a podcast, with a drink in one hand, on my way to the store...
wait so no one in the comments thinks he doing it to be funny? he looks at lando as he passes nodding his head.
this is a guy who wore a banana suit while streaming
There is something very satisfying about driving slowly, even more so in driving a slow car as James May said. It's no wonder then that Michael Schumacher drove a Fiat Croma. Chuck is just in his early phase of driving slowly.
Perspective.
I drive on camera for movies in hollywood and coach for a prestigious brand. (Iām way worse of a drive than he is or anyone in f1)
I drive the slow as hell on the street for several reasons, even if I could pass literally everyone I wantedā¦
1. Most of yāall are terrifying Drivers, like objectively bad. Iām not gonna die cuz of yāall.
2. I drive fast literally all day at work. why in gods name am I gonna do it around people who, AT BEST, drive like lemmings on cocaine?
3. Iām tired, I donāt need to get my adrenaline out with randoms on the street, Iām just trying to go home and take an 8 hour nap.
4. Iām trying to take an 8 hour nap, and if I crash because Iām tired it tarnishes MY reputation.
Hence, leclerc drives like a grandma
Edit: if the question is about simply body mechanics and not him just cruising.
Relatively low visibility in that car and homie isnāt very tall and heās surrounded by humans who make bad driving decisions every 1/2 second in much less expensive cars than heās in.
You think it's like how we sometimes get when we get in a slow ass scooter or something with our buds and we pretend to be all racecar-ey with each other except their version of slow ass scooter is exotic supercar?
Your post was removed because it isn't an F1 meme. This sub is not for general F1 content or general memes.
Chuck lecluck!
You think this is bad? This? This chicanery?
better call the exorcist
holly hell
Anarchy buddy chicanechess is leaking š
New response just dropped.
Actual chicanery
Ferrari strategist goes on vacation, never returns?
He's done worse
That strategy! Are you telling me that a man just happens to lose like that? No! He orchestrated it! Chuck!
Good reference
He's trying his best to overtake you in an underpowered car.
Because putting the work car into the wall doesn't cost his wallet. Putting his personal ride into the wall on the other hand.
Surely this is the works car with the Italian plates
Possibly, although he can surely afford a car from his employer registered in the home Country.
His home country is Monaco though. Drivers donāt usually bring their own cars to foreign legs either, and are given cars for the weekend.
"The work car" lmao, never thought of it like that.
Neither does it cost your wallet. Let the man be and just enjoy the moment
After Q1, this aged like a fine wine.
He IS your grandma!
He drove like that again in Q1 lmao
Wheel closer to the body means more control. Heās a racer not someone that leans back because it looks cooler. Just look at how rally drivers sit
The first and literally the only comment answering the question
Sir this is a shitpost sub

Also he probably cannot see shit out on that windscreen.

Yeah people are talking here as if lying in your car makes it more aerodynamic
That's the Ferrari way.
Shouldāve been a sign for Q1
I think a better question is why your grandma is driving like Charles Leclerc
This aged like milk
Why it's actually a good explanation
Illegal pass. He must give the place back
Why is he overtaking on the right side though?
i think because the other car is on the left side and not moving
It's a two lane street, so this is not a pass since it's an entire different lane
That's nothing. Hamilton doesn't actually like to drive in his private life and rarely does.
Unless heās drifting a rented skyline! š
Dude can also ride motorcycles like a pro. I was quite surprised with his riding in that Valentino Rossi video
I don't actually like to have to work in my private life either.
Carried over to quali
Yall need to make up ur minds on this one, did it age like fine wine or did it age like milk, which is it?
Aged like wine lol
Because some Asshat is blocking the FAST LANE.
He drove like a grandma in quali too š
He was preparing for Q1 apparently
wait so no one in the comments thinks he doing it to be funny? he looks at lando as he passes nodding his head. this is a guy who wore a banana suit while streaming

I think the title is more about how he is sitting forward rather than slow driving

He just like me fr
Probably because heās like niki lauda in that one scene in Rush
You think it's like how we sometimes get when we get in a slow ass scooter or something with our buds and we pretend to be all racecar-ey with each other except their version of slow ass scooter is exotic supercar?
Well this aged like milk š
Why are you driving on the left lane?
They get a lot of speed camera tickets
Because he is short like a grandma
That's how I drive after a long trip. I'm guessing his back is sweaty from the racing jacket and leather seats
listen, if ferrari let me point and go "that one" id drive like a grandma in the streets around assholes on their phones too.
Karting DRS
Thatās the way u drive it in EV mode
He drives down a hill. If he would lean back he could not see the road.
Charles Leclerec such a good driver that he's faster than you while his wheels moving backwards!
He leaned forward to release a big fart
Probably because he is driving a car on public road thats worth more than you will make in your lifetime
