Following Hamilton’s breakthrough victory for the Maranello outfit on the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, Steiner argued that Leclerc shouldn’t solely give attention to the telemetry information or technical set-ups, but in addition on how Hamilton works with the workforce.
“Charles is a really quick race automobile driver. Charles can be intelligent. He’ll soar on the bandwagon, on the Lewis Hamilton bandwagon, like we noticed in Monte Carlo,” Steiner stated throughout an look on The Crimson Flags Podcast.
“He stated, ‘I need what Lewis had on his automobile, the brakes, I must go in that course.’ It gave him the arrogance that what Lewis does is sweet, and now he has to make use of what Lewis does and possibly take a step again to go ahead.
“He must say, ‘I did it my approach, clearly Lewis’s approach labored higher as a result of he received a race and I did not, and now I would like to come back again and see what he does and attempt to be quicker than him.’
“However within the workforce, he does not must do something as a result of I feel he has acquired lots of credit score within the workforce anyway. He is been there a very long time, and he will likely be there for a very long time after he signed his contract.”

Steiner argued that Leclerc must be taught from Hamilton’s proactive strategy and his willingness to push again towards the workforce when vital. He added, “With Charles, I do not suppose it is within the automobile; the steadiness of those automobiles is fairly good. However I feel what Charles will be taught from what Lewis did is extra about how he approached getting it his approach.
“The psychological half is extra [important] than the technical half right here. Lewis was not pleased final 12 months. He acquired overwhelmed up by the world, however he saved on doing what he felt he wanted to do, and I feel what Charles will take out of that is, ‘I’ve to face my level,’ as a result of once they modified the brakes on Lewis’s automobile, they satisfied him to stick with the outdated ones till he satisfied himself he wanted them too.
“So, for him, an important factor is to learn the way Lewis mentally handled that.”
Hamilton at present sits second within the drivers’ championship with 115 factors, whereas Leclerc is fourth with 75 factors.
