Charles Leclerc, the driver representing Monaco for the Ferrari SF-24 team, issued a warning about the importance of considering the constantly changing wind conditions in the upcoming Emilia Romagna Formula 1 Grand Prix. In an attempt to reduce the gap to the reigning champions Red Bull, Ferrari introduced a highly anticipated upgrade package for their home race. Leclerc took advantage of these new developments, topping the time sheets in both practice sessions. However, he also acknowledged that the expected wind changes tomorrow will add complexity to the proceedings. Leclerc emphasized the need for Ferrari to be proactive in anticipating these changes to maintain their position at the forefront of the competition.
Although both Ferrari and McLaren, who recently secured victory in Miami, seem to have an advantage over Red Bull, Max Verstappen expressed dissatisfaction with his RB20 car. Despite this, Leclerc remains cautious about Ferrari’s chances and recognizes the importance of securing a favorable position on track at a circuit that presents challenges for overtaking. He stressed the importance of a strong performance in qualifying, as track position will be crucial. Leclerc acknowledged that there is still much work to be done and expressed determination to give his best in order to achieve a successful qualifying session.
