Charles Leclerc admits he is much more interested in his results on the track than admiration off it.
As was expected, the Monegasque has become an instant star since moving to Ferrari this season and had the Formula 1 family at his feet after his performance in Bahrain.
Despite all the praise that has been sent his way, Leclerc insists he is never satisfied with himself.
“I have never thought about it,” Leclerc said to Crash.net of the extra attention.
“It’s always very nice to hear compliments from Lewis [Hamilton] or from Seb [Vettel] or from the greats of the sport.
“This is very nice to hear but on the other hand I don’t spend too much time thinking about it, just trying to get better every race and focus on the weaknesses on my side, from the last Grand Prix and try to fix them and get better for the next one.”

His main aim will be to finally score that maiden F1 win after a first was cruelly taken away by engine issues in Bahrain.
That weekend, Leclerc undoubtedly had the beating of Vettel and he has revealed part of that may have been down to a different approach which was better suited to that track.
“Seb and I, we have two very different driving styles,” he explained. “So, we require some changes on the car and some slightly different balance.
“I won’t go too much in detail with this but we don’t require exactly the same car obviously.”
