Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari driver, is determined to clinch his first podium of the season in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Despite a disappointing start with zero podium finishes in the first four races, Leclerc remains optimistic about the team’s progress. He believes that the improvements seen in Bahrain will be advantageous on the front-limited Jeddah circuit, potentially masking the rear-end issues of the SF-25.
Leclerc expressed his confidence in the team’s direction, stating, “Like last week, tire wear and overheating are the aspects we need to work on the most.” He is determined to push the car to its limits in both qualifying and the race. The Monegasque driver is eager to continue refining the car setup in Jeddah, aiming to secure a podium as finishing fourth is not satisfying for him.
Regarding Ferrari’s performance, Leclerc emphasized the importance of addressing tire management and overheating. He acknowledged that the team is “on the right track” and is ambitious about returning to the forefront of the competition. Despite minimal impact on the Bahrain circuit, Leclerc anticipates a closer battle in Jeddah, exuding confidence about Ferrari’s performance in the upcoming race.
