    It’s unfortunate for him, but in my mind he kinda became the voice of the Ferrari pitwall. Whenever Ferrari pulls a Ferrari, he’s usually the messenger that relays the words from the clown show to the drivers. Must be hard sometimes to constantly have to deal with vague instructions and chaos from the pitwall while not speaking your native language, and then kinda becoming a meme as a result.

      I think it’s understandable that people meme him for all the "we are checking"s, because when we hear Charles ask him a question, there rarely is a straightforward answer. I’m not sure if it’s a Ferrari thing, a Xavi thing, or maybe the broadcast person who decides which message to play focuses on Ferrari’s incompetence, but imo he appears clueless more often than other engineers.
