Ferrari, Charles Leclerc confident in overtaking Mercedes
Here are the words, focused mainly on the duel with Mercedes in the Constructors’ World Championship and the balance of the year, of Ferrari’s Monegasque Charles Leclerc in the press conference on the eve of the three-day Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the last race of the 2023 Formula 1 World Championship. The quotes are taken from the Sky Sport website.
"It will be tight battle with Mercedes until the end and we will have to do everything right to beat them and get the second place in the Constructors. I don’t know if we have the fastest car here, but it depends a lot on the details. They traditionally are strong here and it will depend on who will optimize their package better. In Las Vegas the pace è was good, but there remains a lot of work to do and we have to be focused to stay ahead of Mercedes”.
“Disappointing season, but the'last race in Las Vegas è among the best moments. We couldn't take the same step that Red Bull did compared to the previous year, but we grew. Forò the gap è still considerable and during the winter break we will have to work hard and hope to be competitive in the next championship".
Leclerc è is currently seventh in the driver standings and has collected two second and three third places this year, as well as one second and one third place in sprint races, and è started five times from the pole position, for a total of 23 times in his career.
