The Moneqasque driver realistically has no chance of beating Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen to this year’s world title and trails his nearest rival by 116 points w🐬ith six races remaining. 

Leclerc led the championship after winning two of the opening three rounds of the campaign but a catalogue of ♐strategic blunders, reliability failures and driver errors have blown his chances of winning this year’s world championship.

Todt, who led Ferrari to a total of 14 world championship titles before later serving as the president of the FIA until last year, believes Leclerc h🐻as the potential to be a world champion but “still lacks something”.&n🔜bsp;

"Charles is already a great champion,” the 76-year-old told Italy’s Gazzetta dello Sport. “He still lacks something. I hop꧃♏e he has it soon. 

Todt failed to elaborate on what exactly he feels Leclerc is missing, replying simply:꧟ “He misses somethin💛g.”

"Ferrari at one pဣoint had the best car in the championship,” he continued. 

“Then he missed certain opportunities, I think of strategy, of a Safety Car that entered at the wrong time, of reliability ꦏproblems. 

“Several episodes that have cost [him]. We need to reflectꦅ on this to prevent them from happening again. Never leave anything taken for gr༒anted. 

“And if you cannot leave anyt𓂃hing for granted, then there will be all the ingredients to be champions.”

Todt also s𒁏poke about current Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto, who has come under fire for the Scuderia’s failure to✨ maintain a championship challenge. 

“Every era is different,” he said. “I don't want to give advice. It's easy to give adv꧟ice.

“The only one I can give him is to resist. And then now Ferrari is doing very well. It seems to me that 🌼people do not fully realise this. Ferrari is back𒁏 to winning. 

“I think almost everyone would like to see Ferrari win the championships, not just a ไfew races. We can hope for next year, because this year I don't think it's possible anymore.&nbs🍰p;

"But to win you need excellence at all levels. It is difficult to achieve it, and even more so to maintain it. It s💙tarts with excellence in detail. 🌺;
