Leclerc is really pushing the Ferrari as hard as he can and putting it into places it would not be with a less skilled driver and if Vettel tried a bit harder he might to better too but I think his mind is not with Ferrari anymore.

That Swiss performance team have been providing trainers to drivers for years. Even Mika Hakkinen had one back in the 90's, again provided by that exact same Swiss team. Dont see anyone having a go at Mika for it. The whole idea is they take care of every little detail for their client so the driver only has to think about one thing, driving as fast as possible! So if that includes holding on to hair bands for a driver then so be it. The drivers spend so much time with these trainers that they develop close bonds with them. No wonder we see Lewis go out of his way to share the (usually) winning moment with her as she is a vital piece of the team to him. Does no one remember Ron Dennis grabbing Alonsos trainer on the pitwall in Hungary 07 after the qualifying debacle!? The Ron thought the trainer knew something because, just like Lewis now, they spend so much time together. Are ye only taking notice because she's a short blonde lady!? Would ye even look twice if it was some guy in team gear!? Or is it because it's Lewis?

Dont be at yourself wrote: » Firstly, I do think he’s over-rated, fortunate to be in incredibly dominant car, and I find his faux-humility really inauthentic and dislikeable. All that said, I find it impossible to criticise him for the Black Lives Matter stuff — he is 100% justified in using his platform to promote those causes, and there’s nothing to suggest he’s not doing it from a sincere and genuine place. At the end of the day, it’s easier not to rock the boat, not to cause issues for the team or for sponsors, not to alienate fans, and not to put his hand in his pocket to fund the Hamilton Commission, so I admire his principled stand.
