Charles Leclerc has already had a painful season behind him in 2022, and somehow, in 2023, things have only gotten worse for the Ferrari driver. What he didn’t need was salt rubbed in his wounds as he gets brutally roasted on Twitter by Ryanair.
The airline’s social media team has been notorious for its crass humor that focuses on the world of F1 and beyond. Recently, Mercedes fell prey to their jokes, after editing a picture of Lewis Hamilton’s car from their window seat. The Mercedes team joined in on the joke, but Ryanair refused to play fair.
Good for watching Max fly past

Now, Charles Leclerc was next on the hit list. OnlyFans creator and boxer, Elle Brooke, recently sat down with Piers Morgan for an interview that has now gone viral. The interviewer questioned her OnlyFans career, and what her future kids would say should they find out about her participation on the adult website.
Rich and unabashed, Elle Brooke had a simple response: “They can cry in a Ferrari.” Now, crying in a Ferrari has only been associated with one man, Leclerc himself. The airlines’ marketing and been handed the perfect alley to craft the perfect tweet.

Leclerc destined to pain for the season
While the tweet was a hard-hitting one, it was honest. Even Leclerc has no clue why Ferrari has failed to get on top of their problems this season. After a pointless weekend in Barcelona, Leclerc was frustrated.
“I don’t understand what we are doing wrong but we are doing something wrong…We have to obviously understand [and] work but we really need to now because it’s been a few races and we are struggling…” Leclerc even spells out what the problems are for his team, but it is up to them to give him the solutions.
It’s no wonder, the 2022 championship contender is now crying in a Ferrari. “I put in even harder work today! It’s just that it doesn’t show and unfortunately, this is how our situation … it’s exactly what I was talking about yesterday.”
However, one can only hope the Monegasque has a respectable end to this season to forget. Hopefully, no more tears in 2024.
