The driver was quizzed on that at the Chinese Grand Prix and revealed it was part of an inside joke between himself and Bozzi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an inside joke, but obviously nobody could understand it from outside,\u201d Leclerc said. \u201cIt\u2019s something with my engineer, but we understood from where it was coming from.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was coming from the drink [bottle], so obviously I had zero drink, and I was wet, but that\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the \u2018words of wisdom\u2019 is more than just an inside joke, it has become a seven-year project of Leclerc\u2019s, one that he started when he first joined Ferrari.<\/p>\n

Back then, it was Xavi Marcos who was his race engineer before Bozzi replaced him last year, and they began keeping track of the \u2018Words of Wisdom\u2019 in a book.<\/p>\n

Leclerc revealed this during an interview with Sky F1 pundit Martin Brundle.<\/p>\n

Brundle asked the Ferrari driver if there was a \u201cbook, some kind of note of these words of wisdom\u201d, the driver replying: \u201cYes, there is. But it\u2019s an inside joke.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are keeping track with my engineer, some of the discussions that happened over the seven years that are funny in one way or the other.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we call that \u2018The Words of Wisdom\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leclerc spoke about his relationship with Bozzi, who replaced Marcos at last year\u2019s Miami Grand Prix, after his podium result in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.<\/p>\n

After four races without any champagne celebrations, one even ending in a DSQ due to underweight car in China, Leclerc crossed the line third at the Jeddah circuit.<\/p>\n

Bozzi calmly congratulated him: \u201cGreat job, Charles.\u201d<\/p>\n

The driver replied with a laugh: \u201cThanks a lot, Bryan!\u201d<\/p>\n

Leclerc later said: \u201cBryan was very calm, relaxed on the pit wall. For me, the situation in the cockpit is a lot more intense.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we really have a great relationship, and I think it shows on the outside too. The results speak for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leclerc is fifth in the Drivers\u2019 standings<\/a> on 47 points, 52 behind championship leader Oscar Piastri.<\/p>\n
