Charles Leclerc keeps the Ferrari planted on the brakes
SportLocation Formula 1 Desk · 12 Sept 2026
Charles Leclerc’s onboard clips are all about one thing: the late, committed move that keeps the Ferrari in the fight through the corner.
Charles Leclerc’s Ferrari footage is built around the same sharp idea: get close, stay patient, then attack on the brakes.
In the strongest sequence, Leclerc is tucked in behind a white car and carries the Ferrari right up to the curb before the corner opens out. It is not a lunging, messy move. The car stays settled, the line stays tight and the pressure stays on the rival all the way through the bend.
That is the useful detail in this clip. Leclerc is not just arriving quickly; he is using the braking phase to make the pass possible, which is why the Ferrari looks so alive at the point where grip starts to disappear.
The result is a simple piece of racecraft: hold the line, force the issue late and make the other car defend on the edge of the track.
