Eddie Irvine says Leclerc is the only driver at Hamilton's level

Former Ferrari driver Eddie Irvine says that Charles Leclerc is the only driver capable of taking a fight to Lewis Hamilton and has aimed another swipe at Leclerc's teammate Sebastian Vettel.

The Monegasque has outperformed his more experienced teammate this season, who has again struggled in some key moments, although his victory in Singapore showed all the qualities that made him a four time champion.

Irvine told the Italian version of Betway: "I don't think he is a worthy four-time world champion. He simply makes too many mistakes for that.
