To me Charles has had an eerily similar start to his F1 career as Max. Massive talent but ultra aggressive and made lots of mistakes early on, some here still call him LeCrash just like Max was called Crashtappen. Now he’s learning to calm down and take less risks. Like Max, the car has evolved around him along with Charles’ racing demeanor has improved and it’s now gotten to the point where on a normal weekend it’s a surprise if he’s not on the podium. The major difference is RB and Merc has had steady leadership and strategic competence while Ferrari has been a roller coaster this past decade+. I actually think he has to overcome them if he is to win the WDC
