Charles Leclerc praised the Ferrari team for the significant progress this season. The Monegasque acknowledged that the team’s improvement in building a drivable car was the main factor behind the success. Despite both Ferrari drivers retiring in Montreal, the team had a good start to the season.
Leclerc admitted that drivers naturally improve from one season to another. However, he emphasized that the recent performance advancements were mainly due to the team’s efforts and the car itself, rather than just his individual skills. The Monegasque explained that without the collective work of the team, great results cannot be achieved, regardless of the driver’s talent.
Leclerc realized that last year’s performance was not solely about his driving, but rather the collective effort and progress made by the entire team. This demonstrates how drivers like him continue to improve alongside the team’s enhancements in car performance. Leclerc secured victory in his home race in Monaco this season.
In the past seven to eight months, Ferrari has made consistent improvements and quickly resolved any issues with the car. These efforts have positioned them as the team that has shown the most progress during challenging times. Leclerc emphasized the importance of focusing on his own performance rather than worrying about the actions of other teams.
The 26-year-old driver highlighted how the changes in the car, from last year to this year, have made it more drivable. The car is now easier to control and faster on the tracks. This improvement benefits not only the car itself but also contributes to Leclerc’s continuous growth as a driver.
In general, Charles Leclerc believes that the team’s upcoming performances will bring the best results because his driving skills have significantly improved due to the car’s enhancements. Ferrari fans hope that the team will reduce the 49-point gap to Red Bull in the upcoming races.
