Ferrari, Charles Leclerc stresses progress but doesn’t want to delude himself

The words of Charles Leclerc

Charles Leclerc spoke at a press conference ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m.: "It is better than we expected, but è too early to say how things are really going. We hope we have solved the brake problems. For now we can’t beat Red Bull, but the car è in a better situation. But it must be said that Max continues to be ahead".

“È a positive moment in the team after the momentum taken in the second part of 2023 – continued the Ferrari driver – We know what to work on and the car is responding as we wanted. Hopefully with the updates we can put more pressure than now"

So the Monegasque reassured about the brake problem he had in Bahrain: "We are focused on the problems we had with the brakes in Bahrain and we will see. I don’t know what to expect, but è it’s hard to evaluate after one race. For sure we will work to win. Brake problems in testing as well? No… The brake problem did not è depend on overheating and has è never occurred before. I do not expect it to occur again".

"I don’t know if we will be closer to Red Bull. I felt moreù strong in the medium-speed cornersà in Sakhir. We need a few more racesù to understand our weaknesses and strengths" Leclerc eloquently commented.
