F1: Leclerc and Hamilton ready to set wings for big comeback

After five GPs played, Ferrari is the fourth force in the F1 World Championship. The Cavallino, despite its great intentions at the beginning of the season, is traveling with the handbrake on, as confirmed by the 110 points behind McLaren, the first force in the constructors’ standings, and only one podium finish in the race with Charles Leclerc (in addition to Lewis Hamilton’s victory in the Sprint of the Chinese GP).

The SF-25 is certainly not the best single-seater of the’whole lot. Both drivers of the Cavallino know this well, especially Lewis Hamilton who is struggling so much to find the right feeling with the car.

To Ferrari’s rescue (and that of all the other teams battling with McLaren) the regulations are about to arrive. From the Spanish GP, the ninth round of the World Championship (June 1), tolerance for wings, one of McLaren’s strengths today, will drop dramatically.

A rule change that, at least on paper, could help the Maranello-based stable relaunch itself in the World Championship. The’important thing, for the Leclerc-Hamilton duo, is to be able to score as many points as possible in the upcoming races, starting with the Miami GP, scheduled for the weekend, so as to arrive in Barcelona with still some chances to attempt the big comeback.
