I've seen some journalists trying to push the narrative is 2nd fastest this year, which is a massive lie.
In fact, by removing McLaren completely from the championship, Ferrari would have won only 4 races out of 16. Moreover, Leclerc has less top 5 results than both Max and Russell.
Ferrari is P2 in the WCC only because Hamilton is performing significantly better than Tsunoda and Antonelli.

I think Leclerc will be in the hunt for pole in Baku - if he could do it when down on power in 2021, he can do it in 2025 in a car that was close to pole in terms of laptime in both Monaco and Monza (where Baku is something of a mixture) and took pole in Hungary. It's not a good all-rounder of a car, but this track ought to limit some of the problems while capturing some of the strengths (curb-riding, Leclerc's ability in short corners etc).

Winning will be another story. Leclerc's pace in the first half of Hungary gives me a modicum of hope but everything would need to be perfect and remains to be seen if they can keep the plank from wearing over the race distance while still optimising the one-lap pace. Still, I think this will be the best change of a win for the rest of the year (slightly ahead of Singapore and then Vegas).

Redbull is the second best car clearly. Its just too bad for them they refuse to run 2 equal cars. The merc and ferrari are quite close but yeah ferrari championship position is almost entirely due to the driver pairing.

What reputable journalist is saying that :lol: :lol: :lol:

They must be running some kind of agenda because I can't see how watching the races you could draw that conclusion.

When they were asked about it a few weeks ago Leclerc sounded more confident about Singapore than the other two. More specifically he said Singapore>Baku>Vegas.
