Ferrari, Charles Leclerc stings Helmut Marko

Ferrari, Charles Leclerc stings Helmut Marko

After a good weekend in Canada with Charles Leclerc’s fourth place and Carlos Sainz’s fifth, Ferrari is looking to repeat in the Austrian Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc in a press conference poked fun at Helmut Marko: “I would take what I saw in Canada with a grain of salt. I saw that Helmut Marko said that we were the fastest on the track, but that is absolutely not true, because Red Bull was always better performers on Sunday. Definitely we had a good pace compared to Mercedes and Aston Martin, in the end when there is feeling and performance since Friday it is very good, it is what I have been looking for since the beginning of the year, because we were almost always inconsistent. Since Canada the car has been very stable all weekend and that is certainly our target.”

Charles Leclerc is the third driver from the Principality to have competed 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.
