F1, Ferrari: Charles Leclerc reassures: ‘We will return to normal pace’

Charles Leclerc is back from the complicated Mexico Gp.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc spoke to Sky Sport F1 microphones ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix. The Monegasque driver is back from the complicated weekend in Mexico, where he finished sixth, far behind the leaders.

“I don’t know what to expect from the weather. I think we will be in line with our best performance. Compared to what it was in Mexico here we will be back to normal pace. In qualifying I expect we will be fast, but in the race the performance will go back to the direction of Red Bull and Mercedes will come back a little bit stronger. But overall we will be in line this weekend,” explained the Maranello-based team’s driver.

Charles Leclerc is the third driver from the Principality to have participated in the Formula 1 World Championship after Louis Chiron and Olivier Beretta, as well as the youngest ever to have won a Grand Prix driving a Ferrari single-seater. In 2019, he made his debut with the Rossa, taking Kimi Raikkonen’s place, and in March he scored his first career pole position, in Bahrain. His first success with the Prancing Horse came at the Spa circuit in Belgium on September 1, 2019.
